I thought so, as I copied it from https://salsa.debian.org/go-team/packages/git-lfs/blob/master/debian/rules#L6
However, I just verified again that it is not meant to exclude test from the source package. See http://paste.debian.net/1074164/ It not even prevent copying test to temporary build directory BTW, as if I remove the "export DH_GOLANG_INSTALL_EXTRA := test" from my rules file, https://salsa.debian.org/go-team/packages/easygen/blob/master/debian/rules the build will still fail. I guess it does just "exclude from the build targets". So again, Shall I exclude test from my source package?
