Title:
  should install to /usr/share, not /usr/lib

Status in golang-race-detector-runtime package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Currently if you install golang-src and golang-race-detector-runtime
  and then uninstall them, you get this sort of message:

  Removing golang-race-detector-runtime (0.0+svn252922-0ubuntu1) ...
  dpkg: warning: while removing golang-race-detector-runtime, directory '/usr/lib/go/src/runtime/race' not empty so not removed
  Removing golang-src (2:1.6-0ubuntu3) ...

  This is (I think) because golang-race-detector-runtime installs to
  /usr/lib/go/src/runtime/race, but golang-src installs to
  /usr/share/go/src and then there is a symlink from /usr/lib/go/src to
  /usr/share/go/src. So probably the race detector runtime should
  install to /usr/share/go/src/runtime/race -- it's a bit wrong to have
  an arch dependent file in /usr/share, but go will cope.
