The debdiff shows some changes that are not part of the existing diff
between Ubuntu and Debian, e.g. in the 0ubuntu1->4ubuntu1 debdiff:

-Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 7.4.10), bison, ed, mawk | awk, perl, netbase,
-               golang (>= 1:1.4~) | gccgo-5
-Build-Depends-Indep: po-debconf
+Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 7.4.10),
+               golang-go (>= 2:1.4.2-2~) | gccgo-5,
+               netbase

These appear to be reasonable changes to make to the packaging, but it's
incorrect to list them as "remaining changes" in the debian changelog
for the merge.  It also complicates the review of the package, since
this combines the merge of the new Debian package version, with a number
of independent changes.

Could we instead do a clean merge of Debian -4 into xenial, so we can
account for everything that's currently in the Ubuntu delta, and then
apply any further improvements on top of that?  Doing a test merge here
gave me several differences to your package, and it would be clearer to
understand if these are the result of a disagreement in the merge, or
the result of an additional change.
