Well, indeed. And I do understand that.

However, as far as I could find out there's no plan for the geoip-database
and geoip-database-extra packages to be switched over to the new format.

Hence, I feel, looking at debian as a whole, there's a missing dependency
here:

I think the GeoIP related features constitute a crucial part of goaccess'
purpose, so it is logical - at least to me - to provide that OOTB. If
there's already a GeoIP database available, I'd expect goaccess to use
that, as opposed to requiring manual steps to set up.

Alternatively, someone would need to provide a package with the GeoIP
database in the new format, I guess; and then goaccess would depend on and
use that. (Wasn't that the point of geoip-database-contrib, btw?)

Cheers,
Dan
