Bug#947630: lintian still gives E: statically-linked-binary for golang project's binary

["Chris Lamb" <lamby@debian.org>]

Hi Tong,

This is a good summary of the situation; if Lintian only has
visibility against the binary, it cannot (currently) identify it as
being a Go project and thus skip this tag.

Can you suggest a more reliable way to detect Go binary packages? I
spot that golang is listed in the Built-Using field; could this work
instead of just the name?

(Not a Go developer...)
