Public bug reported:

If one is to install 'golang' from ubuntu repositories but follow
http://golang.org/doc/install#testing for verification, the process
fails.

Having to set "GOPATH" manually is acceptable since its a user's preference (also, it is documented in the above URL).
No clue is given to the user that "GORUN" and other required variables are to be set manually

Affected Behaviour: Cannot run any Go program.

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