Instead of adding this via a new setting, why not make dh-golang install these files by default?
I think installing everything one can legitimately call program source code is fair game. The tricky part is identifying files which are necessary for test cases. The reason why dh-golang doesn’t just install all files is because that might generate lintian warnings about extra LICENSE files, extra README files not being marked as docs, random non-executable shell scripts, etc. That said, I’m not very happy with the current need to specify the install_all option in many cases, and any improvements over that (using more introspection? using a blacklist instead of a whitelist?) are very welcome.
