Bug#866059: Please remove the git-arch package

Already for a couple of years, the only realistic usecase
for the tla package in Debian was to allow git-arch to
migrate repositories to git.

The final release of GNU Arch was in 2006,
and buster is scheduled to be released in 2019.

It is very unlikely that there will be unconverted GNU Arch
repositories left that people will want to convert to git
in 2019 or later.

git-all depends on git-arch and "arch" sounds like "architecture",
therefore what popcon says about git-arch and tla is irrelevant.

Please remove the git-arch package, so that tla can get removed.
