Hi,

This package was uploaded to unstable a few days ago, with the following
changelog, which a cursory look at `d`'s output seems to confirm:

   * New upstream version 0.7.0
     (with fixes to README.md and comments; no code change from 0.5.0)

This is rather unfortunate because it doesn't fit the freeze guidelines,
and coupled with the ongoing “let's trigger binNMUs to lower the amount
of source packages kept in testing just to satisfy Built-Using” rounds
of binNMUs, this is keeping some packages out of testing.

That's the case for crowdsec 1.4.6-1 which was scheduled to migrate
yesterday evening, which now has 1.4.6-1+b1 for all archs, and will need
to wait on golang-golang-x-text (only 3/10).

I haven't conducted any kind of deeper analysis about possible other
packages being held back specifically due to a Built-Using on that
package, but a grep on excuses.yaml suggests 957 packages (counting
binNMUs for all archs included) and 108 unique source packages getting
impacted by that upload.

I'll leave it up to the release team to implement whatever they feel is
best at this point. An age-days would help clear that new dependency for
many packages, but it feels wrong to ask for it given the upload wasn't
quite appropriate… Keeping the reportbug-generated hint for now:

    unblock golang-golang-x-text/0.7.0-1

Thanks for your help!
