I'm beginning to _strongly_ believe that we should follow the debian idea
here: https://wiki.debian.org/MichaelStapelberg/GoPackaging and not package
pre-compiled Go libraries at all (outside of the standard library).

Developers _not_ making RPMs are encouraged to ignore these packages and do
everything the 'go get' way, whereas RPMs would all set GOPATH to
"/usr/share/gocode" and use that.
