  We're now just a little over six months from the bookworm freezes
beginning [1]. I think we need to make a decision on what steps to take
to ensure that there will be enough time to complete the protobuf work
well in advance of the freeze so things can be in a good state for the
bookworm release.

  I don't know how the wider go ecosystem has been adapting to the
breaking changes, or what other distros are doing, but maybe that could
provide some guidance for what we do in Debian.

  For fun, this weekend I rebuilt all the reverse dependencies of
golang-goprotobuf-dev, v1.5.2 that's staged in experimental. Of the 258
rdeps, only 24 failed to build. Of those:

  * 12 packages legitimately fail to build with the updated golang-
goprotobuf-dev (notary, continuity, golang-v2ray-core, golang-github-
grpc-ecosystem-grpc-gateway, golang-github-grpc-ecosystem-go-grpc-
middleware, mirrorbits, golang-github-hashicorp-go-plugin, golang-
github-gin-gonic-gin, golang-gopkg-rethinkdb-rethinkdb-go.v6, nomad,
golang-github-rootless-containers-proto, golang-github-grpc-ecosystem-
go-grpc-prometheus)

  * 8 packages have existing FTBFS issues (with filed bugs) in
unstable, unrelated to the updated golang-goprotobuf-dev (prometheus-
tplink-plug-exporter, golang-github-go-chef-chef, golang-github-viant-
toolbox, debiman, cadvisor, prometheus-homeplug-exporter, golang-
github-manyminds-api2go, gitlab-ci-multi-runner)

  * 1 package is a legitimate candidate for removal from the archive:
golang-gopkg-gorethink-gorethink.v3 (no rdeps in main)

  * 3 packages have versions staged in experimental that build properly
(gobgp, gitaly, golang-google-grpc)
