Severity: normal
Control: affects -1 + src:golang-coreos-log

usertags: remove

The golang-coreos-log package ships upstream code from 2014 and appears
unmaintained.  It has no reverse dependencies in Debian.

The upstream project was archived in 2018:

   Deprecation notice

   This project is currently unmaintained and deprecated.

   For those looking for alternative logging frameworks for Go, logrus
   or glog are two modern popular choices.

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.
