The golang-step-linkedca package ships unmaintained upstream code from
2021.  It has no reverse dependencies in Debian.

https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/golang-step-linkedca

The upstream project was renamed and we have the new package in Debian:

https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/golang-github-smallstep-linkedca

This removal request is part of a larger batch to remove 100+ unused
golang-*-dev packages from Debian.  I believe the QA cost associated
with keeping all of them is larger than the cost of (hopefully extremely
rare) re-introduction of any accidentally removed package if there is
ever any future need for it.  Meanwhile, I don't think it is useful to
keep this package in Debian.
