Hi,

I did a few tests !

These lines do not raise a warning

  golang-any (>= 2:1.9~)
  golang-go (>= 2:1.9~)

However this one raise a warning

  golang-any | golang-1.9-go

And this last one, more interesting, fails the build:

  golang-1.9-go

Actually, only 'golang-go' installs the binary '/usr/bin/go' (which is
just a symlink). Installing only 'golang-1.x-go'  is not enough, so let
me just clarify that with the go packaging team, and fix the control
file to start with.

Cheers
