It looks like reportbug can no longer X-Debbugs-CC wnpp bugs, so I'm
manually posting this follow-up.  As far as I can tell, the existing
golang-github-pierrec-lz4 debian/* can be copied into this package, the
copyright file updated, the watch file updated to scrape v4 tags, and
the changelog reset, which should be pretty quick! :-)

I'm not sure why uscan in the existing 2.x package isn't finding v4
versions.

Regards,
Nicholas

(copied from golang-github-pierrec-lz4)

 This library implements reading and writing lz4 compressed data (a frame),
 as specified in
 http://fastcompression.blogspot.fr/2013/04/lz4-streaming-format-final.html,
 using an io.Reader (decompression) and io.Writer (compression).  It is
 designed to minimize memory usage while maximizing throughput by being
 able to [de]compress data concurrently.

This RFP is for v4 of the package referred to as "github.com/pierrec/lz4/v4".  
It is a dependency of newer versions of Syncthing, and will presumably become a 
dependency of all packages that migrate away from golang-github-pierrec-lz4.

Thank you for you consideration,
Nicholas
