Most packages are at least started via "dh-make-golang" (and often
dh-make-golang is used to regenerate newer upstream tarballs), so the
majority should have a very similar structure.  I would definitely
recommend checking out the tool if you're looking to package software
written in Go, even more especially if upstream does not tag releases.

If you want a simple library package example, "golang-pault-go-config"
is pretty bare-bones.

If you're rather looking for a binary package example, "rawdns" isn't
very complex, but something like "runc" or "containerd" might be
better to show both a tool/binary and a -dev package in one source.

I wouldn't say these are necessarily "canonical" examples, but they're
a few that I was able to find fairly quickly by scanning my own local
checkouts of pkg-go repos for ones that have very few files.

Hope that helps!
