[lxc-users] lxd in Debian

Lxd uses golang, which probably makes it easier for the devs to
maintain, but also requires a bunch of go dependencies. Like
http://packages.ubuntu.com/golang-github-dustinkirkland-golang-petname-dev

AFAIK the "normal" way is to get the build dependencies included in
debian as well, but it'll be a lot work work (if at all possible).
An "easier" way would be to include the dependencies as part of lxd
build process. Not sure how much work it would take.

In the mean time, if you need lxd in debian, my best advice is to try
porting ubuntu's packages (including the build requirement), and build
your own, adjusting as necessary.
