I've done some of this testing now, and it seems to work. I installed
golang, gccgo-6 and gccgo-5 from the archive, enabled my ppa and then:

root at golang-coinst-test:~# apt-get install golang

which looks right to me -- upgrading golang causing the gccgo stuff to
be upgraded too.

The full log of the upgrade is at http://paste.ubuntu.com/15398878/ --
these messages

dpkg: warning: unable to delete old directory
'/usr/share/go/src/runtime/race': Directory not empty
dpkg: warning: unable to delete old directory
'/usr/share/go/src/runtime': Directory not empty
dpkg: warning: unable to delete old directory '/usr/share/go/src':
Directory not empty

are unrelated (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/golang-race-detector-runtime/+bug/1554401,
fixed in the golang-1.6-race-detector-runtime package in my ppa).

So *I* think they're ready but of course I can't upload them. (I'll
also look at making packages suitable for Debian soon).
