The Juju clients and agents built with Go lang are statically
compiled. They are Ubuntu release agnostic. The wily-built Juju runs
fine on Trusty and Precise (and Centos 7). You can install the wily
juju-core and juju-local packages to play with the lxd feature now.

Per the conversation above, the Juju PPAs build with a deps that
provides the Juju teams minimum and preferred Golang. We used this to
get newer Gos for precise without waiting on Ubuntu. We plan to switch
to switch to Go 1.5 soon at a part of our plan to change Juju's
minimum version of Go.
