Of particular note:

Go binaries are statically linked only, by design. In the future, gccgo
may enable us to use dynamic linking as standard, but right now, the
language is young enough that the upstream reference compiler is strongly
preferred.

For this reason, the guidelines specify that language library modules will
be shipped as devel packages with _source only_. This is in line with debian
practices.
