src:goffice-0.8 is an obsolete GTK+-2-based version of src:goffice. It
should not be used in new code.
As announced in [1] and [2] the GNOME team do not intend to release
goffice-0.8 in buster. However, it cannot yet be removed because gnucash
still depends on it. Please move it to oldlibs for now.
(I realise this should have been requested years ago - I'm trying to
catch up with all the GNOME-2-related oldlibs now, so that it'll be
clearer to our users what is and isn't deprecated.)
