Nah, there are several options here, one would simply be to
tell
people not to use the distro packages with anything but the
default D compiler used in the respective Debian release.
Go apparently tells people not to use Debian-shipped go code in
their own projects at all.
The vendoring systems that Go folk have invented are
effectively mandatory for projects that want reproducible
builds, and using platform specific code is not feasible. It
suprises me that Debian and Fedora are going flat out trying to
package Go stuff.
That's false. Debian is leading the effort on reproducible builds
that many other projects (including Fedora) have joined, and a
large chunk of packages is already reproducible[1].
It's actually quite the opposite: Build systems downloading
random stuff from the internet make the system more likely to
produce different build results.
But in any case, the primary use for Debian packages is to be
used by the distribution.
