[pkg-go] Bug#827928: Bug#827928: golang-github-coreos-go-systemd-dev: circular dependency with golang-github-coreos-pkg-dev

[Michael Hudson-Doyle]

Indeed, I ran into this too:
http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-go-maintainers/Week-of-Mon-20160620/005631.html
and https://github.com/coreos/go-systemd/issues/183 and
https://github.com/coreos/pkg/issues/73. The good news is that
upstream seem to agree this is a problem...
