The alternative will be removed from the next upload of gccgo, or at least that's what doko told me.
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=842254 is about fixing this properly. I don't really want to fix this the way you are suggesting because most packages that are implemented in Go just build-depend on golang-any and invoke /usr/bin/go and it seems important that the version of Go that gets you is controlled by the packages' build-depends (and the state of the archive at the time) not whatever the admin of the system has done with update-alternatives (this is why the alternatives got removed).
