How Debian and Fedora handles it (and we should too) is packaging source code that is later being used by the compiler. Semi-example of that can be found in go-tools[1] package, except golang.org/x/net should be effectively a standalone package and a make dependency. The other way is asking upstream to vendor their dependencies in git repository so we don't need to handle it at all. Bartłomiej
