readme suggests installing golang-go for debian-based distros, but source requires go 1.20 which isn't available yet.

Looks like this is available in stable-backports and later:

Yeah, the correct Go version can reasonably easily be installed on most distros, Ubuntu has suitable versions in lunar, mantic and noble, Debian has a suitable version through backports.

There is no mention of the required Go version in the README, nor instructions on how to install it from backports if necessary. This leads to frustration for a first time user. Please consider adding a note about required Go version, and at least a link to how to add backports if needed.
