I think you should definitely document it in dh-golang itself (its manpage, etc.) regardless of whether it is documented in debhelper. Having thought about, I think I am open to having an item or two for third-party debhelper tooling in the compatibility notes. I may have to revise that if I start getting a lot of third-party notes but I am not getting a lot of them. Could you please file a bug or merge request on salsa against debhelper with the proposed text? Thanks, ~Niels
