RT: trixie-no-auto-remove request for #1109513 & friends



Release Team,

  I'd like to ask that you tag #1109513 & merged friends with trixie-
no-auto-remove. Pretty late in the release freeze cycle a few bugs were
filed against golang libraries that don't cleanly dist-upgrade from
bookworm due to the golang-github-golang-protobuf-1-3-dev -> golang-
github-golang-protobuf-1-5-dev transition last summer. Post trixie
upgrade, a simple `apt install ...-dev` is enough to hit apt through
installing the updated packages.

  protobuf-1-3 provides a pre-v2 API, while protobuf-1-5 provides the
v2 API. As such, it's not a straightforward replacement exercise to
update all golang packages to use the protobuf-1-5 library. A handful
of additional bugs have been filed identifying golang packages that
still depend on protobuf-1-3 (#1110159-64), but those might in turn
have additional dependencies that would require an update and/or
rebuild.

  Given that these are development libraries intended for building
other golang packages, and therefore unlikely to be installed by an end
user, and that we're in the final freeze, I would request that the
trixie-no-auto-remove tag be applied since an autorm would remove a ton
of other golang packages that really should be part of the trixie
release. Once forky development opens up, we can then address the
dependency issues.

Thanks,
Mathias
