I'm happy to review/sponsor if you think it's sane!

To be clear, you're talking about adding a new "gccgo-go" virtual
binary package to "src:golang-defaults" which satisfies requests for
"golang-go" via Provides (and thus also provides "/usr/bin/go" via
alternatives or Conflicts)?  Will this simplify the logic behind
"golang-any"?
