If I understand the utility correctly, it invokes "go list" two times: The first time to identify the golang packages that needs to be installed into the Debian package, and a second time to identify what files are involved? (Sorry, Perl is not my forte, and I think some commentary in the source code on the thinking behind the '$tmpl' and '$gofiletmpl' variables that are being passed to "go list" would be very valuable).

It's the limitation of dh-golang. You can't pass `-tags` argument to
the phase when generating Built-Using substvar.
I have met the same problem when I package containerd. (I want to use
`no_cri` tag).
As a result, I just removed the file(which has !no_cri tag) in configure phase.
https://salsa.debian.org/go-team/packages/containerd/blob/9fe3ea16/debian/rules#L18
I think there's case to use non-default build tag. But I don't know
whether it's worth to add the complex of dh-golang. And I think this
is discussed in your another thread.
