I'm hesitant to suggest it, but if this is (which I suspect) only one (or a couple) of small random file, I would vendor them in the golang-x-tools-dev package (of course mentioning in debian/copyright and debian/README.source as appropriate) so that these reverse dependencies starts to build again. Report upstream asking them to stop depending on ancient stuff. If you (or someone else) knows how to fix the code, patching it would be better. If the usage is in a *_test.go file, I would disable the code instead of requiring a vendored file.
