Static-Built-Using is the right field. Earlier go packages were using
just Built-Using
which is a policy violation. More details at
https://wiki.debian.org/Static-Built-Using

Most of them are library packages which do not use such a field. You
need it for statically
linked binaries and hence only go binary packages would need such a
field.
If that is missing in a go binary package, it is a bug and the field
should be added.
