[pkg-go] recording the go import path in a golang-*-dev binary package's control fields

Hi all,

I recently was trying to figure out from a binary package name (e.g.
golang-yaml.v2-dev) the import path corresponding for the package (in
this case, "gopkg.in/yaml.v2"). I couldn't find any easy way (what I
did in the end was look for the top most directories the package
installed .go files into, which is not quite the same but sufficient
for what I was doing).

Would it not make sense for the -dev package to contain a
Go-Import-Path control field? Or record it some other way?

Cheers,
mwh
