So I tried to do `sudo go test` during build myself, after
successfully built it, during dh_auto_test phase. It works but, it
starts with `go: downloading ...` which will fail during official
build. So two questions.
- since my build environment has everything, and `go: downloading ...`
is not necessary, how to pass that knowledge to `sudo go test` so it
will not be downloading anything?
- is official build environment using passwordless `sudo`? Will my
`sudo go test` be stuck at entering password in official Debian build
environment?

I still haven't figured out a good way of doing that yet.
Thanks for helping.
