I think it's because the library contains an example which produces a binary. It will confuse dh-make-golang. So dh-make-golang has an option, you can use `dh-make-golang make -type library`. Besides, after dh-make-golang creating the template, you should adjust debian/rules with: ``` export DH_GOLANG_EXCLUDES := examples ``` This usage is documented at https://manpages.debian.org/bullseye/dh-golang/Debian::Debhelper::Buildsystem::golang.3pm.en.html#DH_GOLANG_EXCLUDES (Yeah, we know the manpage name is difficult to find..) -- Shengjing Zhu
