Bug#1118667: ITP: bingo -- Like `go get` but for Go tools



Hi.  Do you think there is still any point to avoid using 'bingo' here?
There is no naming clash.  While we could rename this source and/or
binary package, the Go team naming policy is to use the upstream name,
which is 'bingo', and I can't see that there will ever be any conflict
with your 'libbingo*' namespace here.

https://go-team.pages.debian.net/packaging.html#_naming_conventions

So my preference is to go with the Go naming guideline here.  Let me
know if you still think it would be useful to avoid 'bingo' here.  I
plan to upload to NEW shortly.
