The golang-github-mssola-user-agent package was last uploaded on
2020-01-25 and appears unmaintained.  It has no reverse dependencies in
Debian.

https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/golang-github-mssola-user-agent

The upstream project was archived in 2023:

   https://github.com/mssola/user_agent

   IMPORTANT: THIS PROJECT HAS MIGRATED TO https://github.com/mssola/useragent

Thus according to Go team policy if it is ever needed, it should be
packaged under a new source package name.

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.
