The golang-gopkg-src-d-go-billy.v4 package was last uploaded on
2019-08-27 and appears unmaintained.  It has no reverse dependencies in
Debian.

https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/golang-gopkg-src-d-go-billy.v4

The upstream project says it is discontinued:

   https://github.com/src-d/go-billy

   WE CONTINUE THE DEVELOPMENT AT go-git/go-billy. This repository is
   abandoned, and no further updates will be done on the code base, nor
   issue/prs will be answered or attended.

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.
