dpkg-buildpackage calls debian/rules (see https://people.debian.org/~stapelberg//2016/11/25/build-tools.html), which calls debhelper, including Debian::Debhelper::Buildsystem::golang(3pm), which uses the DH_GOPKG variable (either from the environment, i.e. via debian/rules, or from debian/control).
In other words: the value you specify in debian/control unfortunately cannot be made available in debian/rules. If you need to use DH_GOPKG in debian/rules, I recommend to define it both in debian/control and in debian/rules as well. This issue should be fixed with a documentation update. Could you supply a patch please? You know best at which point the wording becomes clear enough :). Thanks!
