I suggest an approach that will help resolve this in a more
gradual manner that will mean this issue becomes less annoying:

Add a Debian patch to golang-github-boltdb-bolt fixing the RISC-V
incompatibility, probably you can figure out how the forks of the
boltdb-bolt project did it and then backport that to boltdb-bolt.

Then file Debian bugs and upstream issues for every package in Debian
that uses boltdb-bolt asking them to switch to one of the forks.

Then file a removal request for golang-github-boltdb-bolt but mark it
as blocked by the Debian bug reports about switching away from it.

Then start working through all these projects making patches to do the
switch. Try to get the patches upstream, but when they don't accept
them immediately, then try to get them included in Debian.

Once the removal request has no blocking bugs, then the Debian archive
admins will see that and remove the package.
