Go has the extremely nice feature that cross-compiling for other
architectures and OSs is very easy. I have, on a number of occasions
used Debian to cross-compile Go programs for Windows.
I have no particular interest in this package, but yes, it is
appropriate to package a Windows-only Go package in Debian.
