Public bug reported:
To make maintenance of Go easier in the future, we've decided to allow
major versions of Go to be co-installed (like gcc-4.9, gcc-5, etc). The
plan goes something like this:
1) convert existing golang source package to golang-1.6 source package,
removing version independent things like the man pages and management of
/usr/bin/go, changed to install to version dependent paths (/usr/lib/go-1.6 etc)
2) create a golang-defaults package that contains this version independent
stuff and links /usr/bin/go to the appropriate version
3) update gccgo-5 and gccgo-6 packages to stop providing an alternative for
'go'.
