[pkg-go] dh-golang and _link_contents()

[Michael Stapelberg]

Here are a couple binary-only packages:

http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-go/packages/etcd.git/
http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-go/packages/heartbleeder.git/
http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-go/packages/skydns.git/

Why do you need an install file at all if you’re just dealing with a
binary-only package?
