`go version -m` missing module version information
`go version -m` prints "Go version and module versions used to build a
specific executable"
Example from the Go docs https://go.dev/ref/mod#go-version-m
> The -m flag causes go version to print each executable’s embedded module version information, when available. For each executable, go version -m prints a table with tab-separated columns like the one below.
>
> $ go version -m ~/go/bin/goimports
> /home/jrgopher/go/bin/goimports: go1.14.3
> path golang.org/x/tools/cmd/goimports
> mod golang.org/x/tools v0.0.0-20200518203908-8018eb2c26ba h1:0Lcy64USfQQL6GAJma8BdHCgeofcchQj+Z7j0SXYAzU=

However this information seems to be missing in Debian go binaries:
$ go version -m /usr/bin/caddy
caddy: go1.19.4
path github.com/caddyserver/caddy/v2/cmd/caddy
build -compiler=gc
build -trimpath=true
build CGO_ENABLED=0
build GOARCH=amd64
build GOOS=linux
build GOAMD64=v1
Presumably the module version information is stripped somehow. Could
it be added back? Or would it add too much to binary size?
