You are doing some really bad, actually, namely defining
DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS in d/rules.  I thought lintian had a check for this.
Please don't do this: either use DEB_BUILD_MAINT_OPTIONS, or add an
empty dh_auto_test override.  In both cases, I would appreciate if you
could add that comment you added in the git commit message directly as a
comment to d/rules, so people can wonder less on why you disabled the
tests.

Besides, why not just exporting the variable, instead of doing the way
you did it?

Also, can you write a tad longer description?  (lintian does complain
about this).


I am not sure of the general rules within the go team, but usually I
prefer when people don't do debian/ tag unless they are 100% sure that's
what is going to be uploaded.  In this case you are now forced to either
remove that tag (and then I have to manually remove it locally too…, and
so are all the people who have already cloned that repo), or bump the
version which is probably even uglier…
