[Pkg-golang-devel] Bug#780355: Bug#779503: support gccgo, at least on architectures where golang is not available

There is a deficiency in dh-golang, which doesn't make things verbose at all,
even when setting DH_VERBOSE=1.  You can get more information about invoked
commands by using -x. Maybe there are more things to pass, but I'm not a golang
maintainer.  The dh-golang bug is filed as #780077.
