Package: golang-1.8-src
Source: golang-1.8
Version: 1.8.1-1

Hello,

Is there going to be an update to golang-1.8 in Debian stable? The current 
version 1.8.1 has a security issue (CVE-2017-8932) that might be relevant to 
some users using e.g. JWT libraries or other code that depends on elliptic 
curve cryptography. I use 1.8 with such code, but I haven't gone full-depth to 
check whether I'm affected by the specific code path of this bug.

Backports seems to have 1.8.3. Are we suppose to switch to backports for 
updates instead?

Thanks!
