<p>dh-make-golang and dh-golang are two different tools (from your
message, I'm not sure if you confuse both or not).</p>
<p>dh-make-golang gets you started by creating a gbp-style repo,
containing the basic Debian packaging files.</p>
<p>For very simple packages it's already enough and works out of the
box, although you still need to edit a few things here and there.</p>
<p>For more complicated packages, consider the packaging files
generated as a starting point. Then you will have to use your
debian packaging skills, and look at other similar packages, to
work your way to a working package.</p>
<p>Notice that you must be familiar with git buildpackage (gbp),
because that's where dh-make-golang takes you, with 3 branches:
'master', 'upstream' and 'pristine-tar'. If you have never worked
with gbp before you will have a hard time.<br>
</p>
<p>As for `dh-golang`, it is used to build golang packages indeed.
If you look at the `debian/rules` file generated by
dh-make-golang, you will see something like `dh $@
--buildsystem=golang --with=golang`. This is what triggers the use
of dh-golang.</p>
<p>Hope that helps,</p>
