[pkg-go] How to analyse dependencies of a multi programming language package?

Dear Go/Lua Teams
	I have recently filed an ITP for packaging micro a text editor [1] , 
	a simple terminal Text editor written mostly in Go, some Lua and other languages. 

[1]	https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=888813

	The upstream package is present here [2]

[2]	https://github.com/zyedidia/micro

	This is my first attempt trying to package a multi programming language project. 

	I have previously done some language specific packages from Ruby and Javascript [3]

Now I am looking to figure out the dependencies of the main package so that I can build a 
dependency tree for it.  

What are the initial steps I should be looking at do build the correct dependency trees for
dependent Go/Lua or any other language projects? 

Once I can figure out the dependency tree I can determine, which of the dependencies are already packaged
and which are not so I can start working on packaging the one's which are remaining. 

I have already started reading the documentation for Go[4] and Lua [5] specific packages.

Looking forward to help the Go/Lua Teams with packages for micro as well as Team maintained packages.


Thanks,

Raju
