Description

When I was trying to pack Gitlab's labkit library, I get following warning messages:

It would be nice, if dh-make-golang also has support for Gitlab, just like it has for Github.

Something like this seems to work with golang-github-xanzy-go-gitlab-dev (0.22.2-1) (though outdated):

var gitLab *gitlab.Client

func main() {
    gitLab = gitlab.NewClient(nil, "")
    gitLab.SetBaseURL("https://salsa.debian.org/api/v4")
    opt := &gitlab.ListProjectsOptions{Search: gitlab.String("golang-golang-x-sys")}
    projects, _, err := gitLab.Projects.ListProjects(opt)
    if err == nil {
        fmt.Println(projects)
    }
}

Worth experimenting bit by bit.
