Okay, now my head is spinning!  But yes, this looks good for the
non-weekly versions.

Except... hang on, these ones are new:

Debian already contains an Emacs mode for a different thing called
"Go", in the games package gnugo!

s/^P/This package p/, or rephrasing it to avoid saying that it's Emacs
doing the editing:

There's no need to capitalise "Syntax" here.

_Description: Report installation of public packages to Go Dashboard?
 The goinstall program reports the successful installation of the public Go
 packages to godashboard.appspot.com, which increments a count associated
 with the package and the time of its most recent installation. This mechanism
 powers the package list at the Go Dashboard, allowing Go programmers to
 learn about popular packages that might be worth looking at.
 .
 If you choose to participate, each successful
 installation will be reported to the Go Dashboard.

 This choice can be modified by running "dpkg-reconfigure
