>> - debian/control: Debian's golang package has dependencies on golang-{doc,go,src} (= ${source:Version}); Debian has golang-{doc,go,src} (= ${binary:Version}).  This difference is not explained in the Ubuntu changelog.  I believe the delta should be dropped.  It happens that both Debian and Ubuntu are wrong, *some* of these deps should be ${source:Version} and *some* of them should be ${binary:Version}.  But the difference between the two is irrelevant in Ubuntu, it only matters in Debian - so we should stay in sync with Debian for this bit, and propose a fix in Debian.

Oh but if the difference between the two is irrelevant in Ubuntu, who
cares :-)

I dropped all these changes.

Title:
  merge with debian

Status in golang package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I'm attaching a debdiff that merges the latest version from Debian.
  Well sort of: it also includes a pile of things that should really be
  in Debian, but haven't been fixed there yet -- see the list of Debian
  bugs mentioned in the changelog and the patches in them. But it gets
  the rewritten debian/rules from Debian, which is much simpler and
  clearer.

  I've uploaded this to my ppa at
  https://launchpad.net/~mwhudson/+archive/ubuntu/ppa/+packages so it at
  least builds on amd64, i386 and ppc64el and I've stared at the
  debdiffs for the amd64 debs and they look OK to me.
