[rogpeppe]

go version devel +d5dc490 Thu Mar 16 02:44:16 2017 +0000 linux/amd64
golang.org/x/tools version 9862c35

with github.com/juju/juju at 223b8db274268e2ae655a71d4596f2a8f981344a.
To reproduce:

 go get -d github.com/juju/juju
 git checkout 223b8db274268e2ae655a71d4596f2a8f981344a
 cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/juju/juju
 go get github.com/rogpeppe/godeps
 godeps -u dependencies.tsv
 guru -scope github.com/juju/juju/... callers ./api/controller/controller.go:#7425,#7425

I got this result:
