** Description changed:

- ...
+ The packages are agents for the Google Cloud Platform and require prompt
+ updates including SRUs to ensure proper integration of Ubuntu Instances
+ to the cloud infrastructure.
+ 
+ The Go build dependencies include several Go projects which don't have
+ fully coordinated release schedules and this makes upgrading them
+ without breaking other packaged software hard and sometimes impossible.
+ 
+ To work around the problem of upgrading all related Go packages in the
+ archive just for the cloud-specific agents and to make SRUs less risky
+ it was decided to vendorize the Go build dependencies using versions
+ used by upstream.
