Do you have an opinion on how to implement this handling?
I could see introducing a DH_GOLANG_BUILD_TAGS environment variable as a
way to a) simplify exisiting debian/rules files and b) providing an
consistent interface to cover both 'dh build' as well as 'dh_golang' steps.
I know that you expressed your concerns against this approach before, but I
wonder if this thread maybe made you reconsider?
