** 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.
