Hi!

I believe we can now remove golang-ed25519-dev from the archive, I
wrote earlier in

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1089692

explaining that upstream code is unmaintained, and the functionality
has been integrated (from this upstream, I believe) into the official
Go x/crypto/ed25519 module which is available in Debian, and should be
appropriate and preferred for all uses.

The final reverse build dependency 'dnscrypt-proxy' has been fixed to
not rely on this package (the code was fixed many years ago but the
'Build-Depends:' remained in error).

I'm part of the Privacy Tools Maintainers team, which maintain the
package, but I didn't know if team-membership is sufficient to claim a
"ROM" tag or not, so I didn't do that, and added a CC to debian-qa for
additional feedback if anyone has opinions?

We believe that the bug you reported is now fixed; the following
package(s) have been removed from unstable:

golang-ed25519-dev | 0~20140907.d2b94fd-4.1 | source, all

------------------- Reason -------------------
deprecated upstream, recommended alternative in debian exists, no reverse dependencies left
----------------------------------------------

Note that the package(s) have simply been removed from the tag
database and may (or may not) still be in the pool; this is not a bug.
The package(s) will be physically removed automatically when no suite
references them (and in the case of source, when no binary references
it).  Please also remember that the changes have been done on the
master archive and will not propagate to any mirrors until the next
dinstall run at the earliest.

Packages are usually not removed from testing by hand. Testing tracks
unstable and will automatically remove packages which were removed
from unstable when removing them from testing causes no dependency
problems. The release team can force a removal from testing if it is
really needed, please contact them if this should be the case.

We try to close bugs which have been reported against this package
automatically. But please check all old bugs, if they were closed
correctly or should have been re-assigned to another package.

Thank you for reporting the bug, which will now be closed.  If you
have further comments please address them to 1093122@bugs.debian.org.
