I'm definitely keen on this one! I think my issue with making it happen (last I looked into it) was that the files in question needed to come from a separate source (LLVM was it? [1]), and the exact versioning necessary was a little strange, and it was sources that already exist in the Debian archive for another package so I wasn't really clear on whether that's kosher or whether we should be talking to the existing package maintainer to keep things sane. Am I remembering this correctly? I really should've made some notes after I spent some time playing with this, sorry. :( [1]: https://github.com/golang/go/tree/go1.6rc1/src/runtime/race#readme ♥, - Tianon 4096R / B42F 6819 007F 00F8 8E36 4FD4 036A 9C25 BF35 7DD4
