Hi Tianon,

thanks for your quick reply. I agree that it's a pity to remove gb, but
as you've said, the current implementation does not work with
golang-1.10 and it even fails to build with golang-1.9. Therefore, in
its current state, gb would not be part of buster anyway.

I've now reassigned this bug from gb to ftp.d.o, to ask for removal from
unstable.

If upstream comes up with a newer version, working with golang-1.10, we
still have some time left to reintroduce the package. The Debian
packaging is still in our git repository on salsa.d.o, so it should be
rather simple to create a new package.

Regards,
Tobias
