Instead of hardcoding license text in "metadata.go", would we consider using the License text obtained from GitHub API using github.com/google/go-github?

Line 169 in 0846d5a

rr, _, err := gitHub.Repositories.Get(context.TODO(), owner, repo)

On this line, variable "rr" points to a "github.Repository" object with a "License" field in which the there is a GitHub URL pointing to the License text.

License:github.License{Key:"bsd-2-clause", Name:"BSD 2-Clause "Simplified" License", URL:"https://api.github.com/licenses/bsd-2-clause", SPDXID:"BSD-2-Clause"}

Would you think that it is better for dh-make-golang to obtain the license text from this URL rather than getting the license text from the hard-coded dictionary in metadata.go?

var debianLicenseText = map[string]string{

P.S. For the license example above, the hard-coded dictionary does not even have a bsd-2-clause as its key. As a result, the generated debian/copyright only has a "TODO" under the generated License stanza:
