Hi,
together with Debian we want to get rid of Postgresql-11 in future versions.
Currently most importantly in 20.04 before Feature Freeze.

This isn't as clean as we'd have liked it but let me summarize the
current case.

Most of the dependencies to postgresql-* are superseded by the new version.
For example `libpq5`, `libpq-dev' and `libecpg6` which make the bulk of the remaining dependencies are provided by src:postgresql-12 now.

What is left is one "context" of packages:
$ reverse-depends -r focal src:postgresql-11 | grep "for postgresql-11"
* postgresql-11-cstore-fdw [amd64 arm64 armhf ppc64el s390x]  (for postgresql-11)
* postgresql-11-pg-fact-loader [amd64 arm64 armhf ppc64el s390x]  (for postgresql-11)
* postgresql-11-pgl-ddl-deploy [amd64 arm64 armhf ppc64el s390x]  (for postgresql-11)
* postgresql-11-pglogical [amd64 arm64 armhf ppc64el s390x]  (for postgresql-11)
* there also is pglogical-ticker which doesn't show up here, but depends on it ?!


They seem mostly neglected by upstream:
- postgresql-11-cstore-fdw => https://github.com/citusdata/cstore_fdw/issues/212 (some movement but not ready yet)
- postgresql-11-pg-fact-loader, postgresql-11-pgl-ddl-deploy and pglogical-ticker all depend on postgresql-11-pglogical and that doesn't move (see below)
- postgresql-11-pglogical => https://github.com/2ndQuadrant/pglogical/issues/223

Due to that the removal will have to hit not only src:postgresql-11 but
also these packages as they don't get updated as needed to move to
postgresql-12. Surely if they react in time before 20.04 release we can
try to ship them, but not as-is.

This already happened in Debian via: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=950734
Due to the above this request here is to remove the following from Ubuntu 20.04 (Focal):
- src:postgresql-11
- src:cstore-fdw
- src:pglogical
- src:pglogical-ticker
- src:pg-fact-loader
- src:pgl-ddl-deploy
=> and all binaries formerly built by them
