Thanks! I have my doubts as well regarding the verbosity. My approach
while testing this was that I rather wanted to much information that not
enough.

That said, the original command didn't print anything for file
installation. It's probably only relevant to debug dh-golang itself, so
I'd be okay with removing that.

That's a great idea. It looks easy enough to add the switch in the code,
but I couldn't find how those things are usually handled for modules
outside debhelper itself. I'll ask the perl team, apparently that's
something they did in the past.
