Description
Hi,
I've packaged this for Debian and got it included in Debian officially, and by extension also Ubuntu:
https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/golang-github-pingcap-failpoint
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/golang-github-pingcap-failpoint
Are you here at upstream interested in having this debian/ subdirectory and the packaging? If yes, I can file a PR to submit it.
You can use it to generate .deb packages directly at upstream, or for example include the .deb generation it in the CI to be able to detect if any changes in upstream failpoint are incompatible with Debian and breaks the package.

Review the linked Debian Tracker and Launchpad package pages, then inspect the proposed debian/ subdirectory scope. First confirm that upstream wants to carry Debian packaging and whether CI integration is included; done means the maintainer-approved packaging and any requested compatibility check are defined and accepted.
