Oh, this doesn't quite work does it, because you want the influence of
the other variables that might be set in rules, like
DH_GOLANG_BUILDPKG & DH_GOLANG_EXCLUDES. Maybe just re-running the
package build in the autopkgest environment would be best, or at least
./debian/rules build. It wouldn't even be very inefficient, because
the package has to be recompiled to be tested anyway.
