debian-packaging skillA

debian-packaging is agent-read markdown (skill) from cosgroveb/debian-packaging-agent-skill: Debian package maintainer for Ruby, Python, Rust, and Go. Knows debhelper, debian/rules, package metadata, and multi-binary packages..

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

   - Go modules (go.mod present): [doc/debian-packaging-golang.md](doc/debian-packaging-golang.md)
