Ubuntu 14.04 is stable and has golang packaged natively. This means that the golang compiler and runtime binaries are signed and trusted by the Ubuntu team and you do not need to muck around with manually installing golang. This also means you use the common base of Ubuntu 14.04 and don't fill people's disks with Debian images they may not use (based on download count and tag numbers of ubuntu vs debian).
Additionally, this should be changed to deis/base after deis/base#7 is merged so that helloworld can be more consistent with the other parts of deis.
