The \'dot_import_whitelist\' option can be used to whitelist certain
imports.

Quoting Go Code Review Comments:

> The \'import .\' form can be useful in tests that, due to circular
> dependencies, cannot be made part of the package being tested:
> 
>     package foo_test
> 
>     import (
>         "bar/testutil" // also imports "foo"
>         . "foo"
>     )
> 
> In this case, the test file cannot be in package foo because it
> uses \'bar/testutil\', which imports \'foo\'. So we use the \'import .\'
> form to let the file pretend to be part of package foo even though
> it is not. Except for this one case, do not use \'import .\' in your
> programs. It makes the programs much harder to read because it is
> unclear whether a name like \'Quux\' is a top-level identifier in the
> current package or in an imported package.`,
