This way lies madness.
Not if there's a clear separation between the language's solution and dpkg-land. Mind you, almost every language already has its own packaging system or two. I really don't see any big deal here. > Yes, packaging needs to be beaten into shape, even if this goes > against upstream wishes. Just put up a boundary between dpkg and everything else. This is actually quite easy because Debian packages generally don't install anything to /usr/local. From there it's just a maatter of ensuring that each packaging system respects the line. And I expect that that's exactly what is going to happen in the case of the go(1) tool.
