Better be quick, feature freeze is next Thursday :-) If you
prepare/upload a package and ensure that all packages that
build-depend on it are still working (we have 76: reverse-depends -b
src:golang), it should be fine. I suggest staging that in a PPA, and
once everything builds, upload the new golang-go, and any package
which needs updates to build with 1.4.

It's in universe, so inherently unsupported, and I figure at the
moment folks developing with Go would rather use some backports or a
PPA anyway?
