To be clear, you mean this is a circular dependency at the Debian package
level, right? This isn't a problem for Go, since the oglematchers tests aren't
actually in the same package (they are in package oglematchers_test), so
`go test` works fine.

I'm not sure what to say about it. It seems like this is a shortcoming in the
packaging system, but I guess it would be weird to have a separate Debian
package just for tests.
