I think m-o-m is confusing you. The file is new in debian since we
uploaded the first 1.5 version to wily.

This difference is not explained in the Ubuntu changelog. I believe the delta should be dropped. It happens that both Debian and Ubuntu are wrong, *some* of these deps should be ${source:Version} and *some* of them should be ${binary:Version}. But the difference between the two is irrelevant in Ubuntu, it only matters in Debian - so we should stay in sync with Debian for this bit, and propose a fix in Debian.

OK. I think the fact that some all packages become any packages as
part of the golang -> gccgo fake package stuff has impact here?

Yeah, but I'm fairly the tests will fail without it (and running the
test suite on build is new in Debian recently). I don't know why they
don't fail on debian buildds -- older kernels there, maybe?

> - debian/rules: your merge results look very different than mine, this warrants a closer look since the pre-existing delta was quite large.

Well what I did was mostly take the Debian rules file and re-implement
the dependency packages afresh on top of the new file. I don't know if
it's entirely honest to call this a "merge" but I definitely think
it's an improvement. What does yours look like?
