dpkg2ne

dpkg2ne exports all package versions to prometheus.

• dpkg2ne_last_run_timestamp_seconds <epoch> (gauge)
• dpkg2ne_run_duration_seconds <duration> (gauge)
• dpkg2ne_pkg_version{package="<pkg>", version="<version>"} (gauge)

It's essentially a small (Go) wrapper around: dpkg-query -Wf '${Package},${Version}\n'

Yes, this seems like to have quite some label cardinality, but we want to need this information in Grafana. Maybe doing it via logging and Graylog at some point proves a better idea.

Compile and test run with ./dpkg2ne -w=false.

As all *ne cmds this depends on the node-exporter text export.
