[pkg-go] Future of Packer in Debian

[Daniel Stender]

[cc-ing all CCs]

Yes, sure, welcome.

The next thing to do on the package would be to fix the tests so that they run through
completely w/o errors, so that the failsafe could be taken off (I haven't got into that,
it appears there are some files missing in the tarball).

If you would like to fix that and further things, please go ahead.
