Looks like we are in the final stages of the build. That's actually good.
I think I may have a hint, see below...

So, dh-golang runs `go list -f` to generate a dependency list and propagate to
substvar as per the
manpage[1].
I do not see the explicit -tags option in the upstream manpage[2]. However, if
I pass in -tags to `go list`
in a debian system, it does seem to give some output. I am not sure if that is
even a standard option
or no. However, dh-golang does not have provision to pass -tags in any case as
can been seen in the code[3]
However, it does have a provision to specify DH_GOLANG_BUILDPKG. So you can
pass that variable via an override
to dh_golang. Here's an example for you:
https://salsa.debian.org/go-team/packages/docker/-/blob/master/debian/rules?ref_type=heads#L75
The other option is an ugly hack that I did in mgmt package. Since that was
just one file, I moved
it to a different name and moved back after dh_golang so go list does not
discover it.
https://salsa.debian.org/go-team/packages/mgmt/-/blob/debian/unstable/debian/rules?ref_type=heads#L55
Final option would be to ofcourse disable dh_golang but that may not be a good
option.
Hope this helps.
