I the current way Go sources are organised, a "provides" is a directory
containing Go source files. And projects are renamed all the time so it is
common to alias previous names by symlinks (or http redirects in github)
so you have things like
```
/usr/share/gocode/src/oldname → /usr/share/gocode/src/newname
```
(in newname package, for backwards compat)
At the stage generators operate on the symlink is broken
```
/prefix/usr/share/gocode/src/oldname → /usr/share/gocode/src/newname (which is
in /prefix/usr/share/gocode/src/newname)
```
And the generator needs to walk the symlink to check it contains go code
(recursively)
