This package was REMOVED[1], but it need to be packaged again for
lazygit/0.48.0[2,3].

This package is a fork of golang-github-jroimartin-gocui. However, due to
significant differences[4], the original can no longer be used for lazygit.
This fork is actively maintained[5], so I will reintroduce it into Debian.
