Go 1.6 is now in trusty-proposed

[Michael Hudson-Doyle]

Hi,

As of a few minutes ago, there is now a golang-1.6 package in
trusty-proposed:
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/trusty/+source/golang-1.6 (thanks for the
review and copy, Steve).

One difference between this and the package I prepared earlier is that
it does not install /usr/bin/go but rather /usr/lib/go-1.6/bin/go so
Makefiles and such will need to be adjusted to invoke that directly or
put /usr/lib/go-1.6/bin on $PATH or whatever. (This also means it can
be installed alongside the golang packages that are already in
trusty).

Cheers,
mwh
(Hoping that we can now really properly ignore gccgo-4.9 ppc64el bugs!)
