Why? What difference does it make? If a different bootstrapping compiler
results in a different golang compiler after a second rebuild, there is
something wrong with the compiler anyway.

Odd. Last time I did this for fpc [1], you were actually very happy. Now
you're getting upset despite the only changes actually necessary are
two lines changed in debian/control.in and debian/helpers/goenv.sh.

What's the difference now?

That was never the plan.
