Actually 'version' is 3.0.7.... this confusion seems to be related
to what I'm about to mention next. (Can I call it the 'go import path
circus'?)

First see https://github.com/cheggaaa/pb/issues/155

So apparently now all code has moved into a v3 subdirectory
(unlike v1 and v2), for the potential benefit of the go mod tool I
guess.
Also note that the root directory of the git repo still contains
some pre-v3 implementation of cheggaaa's pb (with a different API).

This possibly means that using gopkg(.in) in the package name
as well as the pb.v3 naming should be abandoned in the
debian package name? Possibly it should now instead become:
- golang-github-cheggaaa-pb(-dev)
unlike previous versions in the debian archive which are named:
- golang-gopkg-cheggaaa-pb.v1(-dev)
- golang-gopkg-cheggaaa-pb.v2(-dev)

I've asked for advice on the #debian-golang channel. Feedback welcome
if anyone knows the best way to handle this problem.

Sigh. As mentioned, If anyone else wants to do this package... - please!

Andreas Henriksson
