I'm OK with using the /debian namespace on salsa, as long as it's used as the 
the only canonical namespace of a given package. I've seen confusing cases of 
a package being put under multiple namespace, making it difficult to figure out 
which is the active one.

It's been a few weeks now and as far as I know there is no objection, let's 
move those go packages! (I couldn't do so myself as I don't have the required 
Salsa permissions, so if you are reading this please go ahead!)
