  Description     : GeoIP update client code

 The GeoIP Update program performs automatic updates of GeoIP2 and
 GeoLite2 binary databases. CSV databases are *not* supported.
 .
 This package also contains a golang library that enables programs to
 maintain their own up-to-date copy of a GeoIP2 or GeoLite2 database.

This library is a new dependency of Syncthing and its absence in
Debian is blocking progress to updating our Syncthing package.  I'm
not sure whether or not the standalone client should also be packaged.

Regards,
Nicholas
