Bug#823478: python3-protobuf3

[Jonathon Love <jon@thon.cc>]

hi,

so the advice i received regarding the name was that i must get it 
renamed upstream[1]. i don't think this will be possible because:

 - upstream is an established package, present in PYPI and macports
 - the developer is MIA

(additionally, the official Protocol Buffers 3 supports Python 3 [2] and 
should be coming to debian soon[3]. as the main point of this package 
was to allow the use of protocol buffers with Python 3, this reduces the 
need for this package).

hence, i propose to withdraw the package, the RFS and the ITP. also 
happy to proceed, the work is basically done, but i can't see a way to 
make it work.

with thanks

jonathon
