There have been conversations with the security team about supporting Go
applications but they are not comfortable with it due to the compile-time 
nature of the packaging.  

If there is a CVE in package X you need to recompile and upload everything
that Build-Depends on X.  Maintainers will also need to recompile and upload
everything that B-D's on the B-Ds as it's not transitive.

There is a plan somewhere to move to creating shared libraries instead of
packaging source code in -dev debs and I may get around to doing this during
the Buster cycle.  It's only relatively recently that this feature was 
available in
Go and in Debian.

It looks like etcd won't be part of stretch either - is anyone looking
into backporting it?
