compile-proto-file does not respect the package directive

[ProofOfKeags]

Trying to compile these protobufs here: https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/blob/master/lnrpc/rpc.proto#L2421

It seems that it does not recognize the package prefix that is defined here: https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/blob/master/lnrpc/rpc.proto#L3

Is this a bug or a limitation of the current implementation?

[ProofOfKeags]

Here's how it is defined by the protobuf3 spec: https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers/docs/proto3#packages

I suppose the question is that if I were to submit a patch, what modules would I begin looking in here?

Sorry for the late reply. This is definitely a bug in the current implementation. The main module that you would want to look at is Proto3.Suite.DotProto.Generate:
