Currently, with dh-golang, the only configuration option for running “go generate” is DH_GOLANG_GO_GENERATE which is all or nothing. With git-lfs, one of the “go generate” commands it runs is windows-specific so I had to patch it out (
https://salsa.debian.org/go-team/packages/git-lfs/blob/8a4bad783a43ee05c144b96f44671eec62324a77/debian/patches/remove-unnecessary-go-generate.patch). I was thinking of adding support in dh-golang to only run “go generate” for certain files but before I put in the effort I wanted to get people’s thoughts on it. Do you all think that would be useful? If git-lfs is the only package that requires it I’m fine with just keeping my patch but I doubt it’s the only case where the functionality would be useful. Alternatively it could be configurable which “go generate” commands should be excluded, but I think that’s generally less useful. What do you all think?
