I'm sure this won't cause anyone any headaches:
"Since DEFLATE is the underlying compression used in archive/zip, compress/gzip, compress/zlib, and image/png, the outputs from those packages may also have changed."

I hope no software forge uses go to generate git-archive tarballs on the fly, that are later used by distros to build packages,and checked against a known-good hash...
@wolf480pl @andrewnez archive tarballs should be among the releases' files
@SRAZKVT
some upstreams (eg. bfdd) don't have releases, so some distro's (eg. OpenWrt) packages use the "generate tarball from commit" endpoint as a source download url

Huh, they could use git clone --depth 1 and diff the contents instead of relying on tarball integrity.
This keeps coming up again and again.
Commit hashes ought to remain stable.
