I was trying to figure out everything before start packaging. Now,

$ dh-make-golang make -type=l k8s.io/api

$ ls | wc

I guess I can't rely on dh-make-golang any more and have to resume
full manual packaging?
And while doing that I should stick to the k8s.io/api name, to name
its folders, and the final package name (golang-k8s.io-api), right?
