glab-1.53.0-1 is now prepared [1] for being sponsored, using the new
golang-gitlab-gitlab-org-api-client-go.

Do we have to keep that compatibility symlink? It is requested by [2] but we
forgot to add a 'Conflicts' and I think Helmut's critic is sensible.
From my go-packaging-newbie point of view, I am in favour of
* Remove the symlink from golang-gitlab-gitlab-org-api-client-go-dev and
upload as soon as possible
* Upload new versions of cosign and glab to unstable
(if this is still allowed)
Do we have to keep (some kind of) compatibility to the old package, even if
there are no reverse build dependencies in Debian any more?
Kind regards,
Nicolas
