Hmm, I'm not sure anything will happen in the PTS until the bug
triggers autoremoval? Having bug reports for each of the dependent
packages would help to separate discussion.  I think we could just
clone this bug to each of the other packages, right?

With Go packages, you rarely understand before you start the work.

So should we clone this bug to the following source packages?  I think
the clones should be severity:wishlist, and then this RC bug will block
on those bugs.

Another alternative is to use 'affects' for those packages.  I never
understood which semantics is better.
