Well, I was right and the problem is not in the "umoci" package indeed.

Yesterday I've uploaded a small improvement [1] to "go generate" invocation
and it exposed wrongdoing in the "autopkgtest-pkg-go".

As you can see in the following fragment of the latest CI log [2],
"vendor" part of the source is absent when "override_dh_auto_build" is
executed so "cd" command fails:

~~~~
cd _build/src/github.com/openSUSE/umoci/vendor/ \
&& GO111MODULE=off go generate -v ./...
/bin/sh: 1: cd: can't cd to _build/src/github.com/openSUSE/umoci/vendor/
make[1]: *** [debian/rules:12: override_dh_auto_build] Error 2
~~~~

Apparently this is happening because "override_dh_auto_configure"
(not defined in my package!) removes "vendor" tree from source.

Note that build system have no such problem as the package builds
successfully:

  https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=umoci

Frustratingly I was not able to locate where "autopkgtest-pkg-go"
is defined. I've checked "apt-cache search", "apt-file search",
Debian wiki, Golang team at Salsa and few other places.

Unless someone fix "autopkgtest-pkg-go" I see no other option
but to remove "Testsuite: autopkgtest-pkg-go" from "umoci".
