The golang-github-btcsuite-btcd-btcec package ships upstream code from 2016. It has no reverse dependencies in Debian. https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/golang-github-btcsuite-btcd-btcec The upstream project IS active however the go.mod namespace changed to github.com/btcsuite/btcd/btcec/v2 so if this ever becomes relevant for an upgrade, it should be packaged under a different source package name. https://github.com/btcsuite/btcd/blob/master/btcec/go.mod#L1 This removal request is part of a larger batch to remove 100+ unused golang-*-dev packages from Debian. I believe the QA cost associated with keeping all of them is larger than the cost of (hopefully extremely rare) re-introduction of any accidentally removed package if there is ever any future need for it. Meanwhile, I don't think it is useful to keep this package in Debian. /Simon jas@frallan:~$ ssh mirror.ftp-master.debian.org dak rm -Rn golang-github-btcsuite-btcd-btcec Will remove the following packages from unstable: golang-github-btcsuite-btcd-btcec | 0.0~git20161101.0.g8343278-2 | source golang-github-btcsuite-btcd-btcec-dev | 0.0~git20161101.0.g8343278-2 | all Maintainer: Debian Go Packaging Team <[email protected]> ------------------- Reason ------------------- ---------------------------------------------- Checking reverse dependencies...
