The golang-gopkg-redis.v5 package ships upstream code from 2021 and
appears unmaintained. It has no reverse dependencies in Debian.
https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/golang-gopkg-redis.v5
The v6 branch is already packaged in Debian:
https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/golang-github-go-redis-redis
The upstream project is active and currently at the v9 branch:
https://github.com/redis/go-redis
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.
