I don't think there is any need to do that generally.  I suppose the
Debian Scheme Team could develop a team policy with guidance -- but
given the Go Team's difficulty to agree on policy updates, I wonder if
per-team packaging policies is a good idea in the first place.

The only hard policy is Debian Policy, and I'm not sure the Debian
Scheme Team will be helped a lot by demanding something further.  There
is DEP14 but it is not that rigid (debian/sid vs debian/latest,
upstream/* etc).

I have to say that I do prefer the idea of bare debian/ repositories,
but I never got that to work fluently in my own workflow, mostly because
of tool issues that expects unpacked source code is stored in git.

Maybe what would be sufficient is a Debian wiki page with known
Guile-specific debian packaging tricks.  There are workarounds that many
Guile packages have in common (dh_dwz, override_dh_makeshlibs,
dh_shlibdeps --exclude=.go, etc) that could use some documentation.
