In my experience, the tough parts about these dependencies that got
forgot about are:

1) they are only dependencies, nobody uses them for anything else;
2) many of them are not versioned upstream (we just have references to
commits)
3) different applications that depend on them may need different
revisions of them.

while solving 3 is part of our duty as packagers (making sure to port the
dependencies to use the latest versions of their dependencies), 2 seems
to be quite common in the golang community...
