---------------------------------+---------------------
 Once I complete #12606 and tag a release, it would probably ease
 deployment if there were binary packages of obfs4proxy so that bridge
 administrators could easily deploy obfs4 bridges (or obfs3 for that
 matter).

 As it stands right now, the only OS I can easily make packages for is Arch
 Linux, but I assume "it's in AUR" won't be helpful to the vast majority of
 bridges out there (which I assume run some flavor of Debian).

 The "correct" Debian way to package go binaries apparently involves having
 packages for all the dependencies.
    * go.net: https://packages.debian.org/sid/devel/golang-go.net-dev
    * go.crypto: https://packages.debian.org/sid/golang-go.crypto-dev
    * goptlib: https://packages.debian.org/sid/golang-goptlib-dev
    * siphash: NEEDS PACKAGING
    * ed25519: NEEDS PACKAGING
