  Description     : Proper URL escaping as per RFC3986 for Go

 Package urlesc implements query escaping as per RFC 3986
 for the Go Programming Language.
 .
 It contains some parts of the net/url package, modified so as to
 allow some reserved characters incorrectly escaped by net/url (see
 issue 5684 (https://github.com/golang/go/issues/5684)).

Reason for packaging:
 Needed by "github.com/PuerkitoBio/purell", which is needed by
 "github.com/spf13/hugo", i.e. Hugo the static website generator.

Note that Go1.5 has fixed its URL escaping to fully conform with RFC3986,
hence "github.com/opennota/urlesc" has finished its historic mission.
However, as @PuerkitoBio noted:

  Yeah, it is now fixed in Go1.5 but it's unlikely people will all
  upgrade that fast, so I'd be tempted to leave it in for a while,
  at least until Go1.6, maybe even another release after that.
  I think a conditional build tag could be used, I may take a look at
  that when I have a moment, so I'll leave that open.

so I think we should do the same with "github.com/opennota/urlesc"
and keep it around until Debian migrate to Go1.6 or even Go1.7.
