I have created a wiki page to track known issues with dh-golang that need to be resolved before it can be uploaded to unstable[0]. At the moment, the biggest issue is that any Go package relying on `Testsuite: autopkgtest-pkg-go` will likely fail its autopkgtests because in that case we don't actually generate a `go.work` file. I hope to address various dh-golang issues this weekend and then make another upload to experimental. In the meantime, I'd appreciate hearing of any other issues people have encountered attempting to build Go packages using dh-golang from experimental.
