Actually, I am also working on a big backport for Prometheus. And the
first dependency is dh-golang, which I have already prepared. Actually,
I have about 20 packages almost ready for backports. I am just waiting
to get upload permissions to BPO.

Re golang, do they really need 1.6? That seems a bit bleeding edge, no?

Let's try to coordinate this, as surely we will care about some common
packages.

To start with, we should try to use the same conventions. I have started
using DEP-14 branches (that means naming the branch
debian/jessie-backports), and I think it is probably the most sensible
way forward.

I also get some tooling benefits: gbp will know automatically which
pbuilder to use, if you say dist=dep14
