Thank you Tianon for the feedback --
Agreed that the archived library golang-github-creack-goselect requires future
attention and should be deprecated/removed in time.
I just learned about about the archived status this week while updating the
package, and had tried to note it in the package debian/changelog. I'm
currently working to update the package dependencies for `pat' and have yet to
explore how that upstream project is planning to handle this archived
dependency. Given `pat' is in active development, I expect they will also
desire a long term stable solution.
May this 0.1.3-1 golang-github-creack-goselect package be processed for now,
and revisit removal after I learn more how `pat' is evolving? Alternately, I
can pause this update and research other avenues.
