Looks like removal would be fairly straightforward; the only package
currently affected is "golang-github-docker-go", which could just as
well stop using patching and just use the pre-patched copy of
encoding/json embedded in upstream's source (since refreshing
_upstream's_ patches for Go 1.7 likely isn't worth the effort for such
a minor package IMO).

For reference:

$ ssh mirror.ftp-master.debian.org dak rm -Rn golang-1.6
Will remove the following packages from unstable:

golang-1.6 |    1.6.3-2 | source, all
golang-1.6-doc |    1.6.3-2 | all
golang-1.6-go |    1.6.3-2 | amd64, arm64, armel, armhf, i386, ppc64el
golang-1.6-src |    1.6.3-2 | amd64, arm64, armel, armhf, i386, ppc64el
