I think it was deliberately avoided, which is somewhat problematic on
debian systems where the GOROOT is split between /usr/share and
/usr/lib. (cc Ondřej Surư)

The argument against following symlinks is that it confuses import paths.

If you search golang-dev for "godoc symlink" you'll find more details.
