To my understanding no package that uses another -dev package as a

Should we aim to remove examples/ and testdata/ in future Go libraries
(*-dev packages)?
If your package has:
Testsuite: autopkgtest-pkg-go
Then ci.debian.net runs the test suite, so testdata/ is very much necessary.
Testdata might also be needed when a reverse dep of your -dev package
runs its tests, not 100% sure though...
I don't know about examples/, but I'm sure it's there for a reason.
Others from the team can answer more precisely.
