[Bug 1506393] [NEW] golang package should recommend golang-race-detector runtime

[Michael Hudson-Doyle]

Public bug reported:

Bug 1487010 (original description "go1.5rc1: go test -race failing when
building test exec on wily") was fixed by uploading a new package. but
people won't get the fix unless they are very determined. Making the
golang-go package recommend the race detector runtime when available
will restore the behaviour from vivid and earlier, where the race
detector just works once golang-go is installed. (It could be a Depends
I guess, but that seems over the top as the go package is mostly usable
without it).

** Affects: golang (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New

** Patch added: "golang_1.5.1-0ubuntu1_1.5.1-0ubuntu1.1.diff"
