[pkg-go] dh-golang : DH_GOLANG_INSTALL_EXTRA_EXTENSIONS option

[Michael Hudson-Doyle]

I guess you could ask go by invoking 'go list -json ./...' and looking
for the various *Files fields. The imports/deps calculations won't
work of course because the point of the copy is to get files to where
they _do_ work, but that just means that there are DepsErrors fields
in the json -- the command still completes and gives the needed
information afaics.

Cheers,
