Even though there are .deb packages to download, they are not in the debian repository.
It would be nice to apt-get install godag :)

In order to get into the Debian repo I think one has to report a program as "missing" to the maintainers or something like that. There is most likely a certain Debian way to build packages and so on which I'm pretty sure godag does not follow :-)
It does pass the 'lintian' test, at least as much as any program made with go can pass that test, since all binaries are statically linked.
x@y:z$ lintian godag_0.4-0_i386.deb E: godag: unstripped-binary-or-object usr/bin/gd E: godag: statically-linked-binary usr/bin/gd
Or in other words I'm not 100% sure how this is done, but I'm pretty sure there are a few hurdles to overcome..
