We want to build go-ethereum with the most recent version of Go, irrespective of the Go
version that is available in the main Ubuntu repository. In order to make this possible,
-our PPA always fetches a recent Go release for the upstream server and uses that.
+our PPA depends on the ~gophers/ubuntu/archive PPA. Our source package build-depends on
+golang-1.11, which is co-installable alongside the regular golang package. PPA dependencies
+can be edited at https://launchpad.net/%7Eethereum/+archive/ubuntu/ethereum/+edit-dependencies

+Add the gophers PPA and install Go 1.11 and Debian packaging tools:
+ $ sudo apt-add-repository ppa:gophers/ubuntu/archive
$ sudo apt-get update
- $ sudo apt-get install build-essential golang devscripts debhelper python-bzrlib python-paramiko
