While we add our golang archive to all the slaves to ensure golang
1.2.1 is available, apt prefers to use the latest version. On Vivid,
that is golang 1.3, and it very erratic success rate is probably
because of tests aren't ready for a newish golang. Fixing the test
suite will give allow us to make the vivid unit tests voting.

Our test runner script accepts a PPA option. We have added newer
golang and mongos to our experimental PPA, then setup a test to run
with it to prove the Juju was ready for the newer versions. We can do
this again.
