We (Collabora) stopped using OBS from Debian packages and switched to our own Docker images completely, which use Rubygems.org instead. Since we were effectively the maintainers of the Debian packages, and nobody else volunteered to maintain OBS in Debian, I’m going to remove most of it except the worker code, which is really tiny and needs virtually no maintenance. (There’s also a related package, obs-build, unaffected by this.)

I’m preparing an upload to the OBS package to implement this.
