[Bug 2076930] [NEW] Removal request: python-certbot-dns-google

[Tim Andersson]

Public bug reported:

Our version of python-certbot-dns-google is quite old, and currently
depends on python-oauth2client

python-oauth2client is long since deprecated, more info on this in [1].

The long term fix is to have a more up to date verson of python-certbot-
dns-google which no longer depends on python-oauth2client, such as [2].

upstream also doesn't have a particularly up to date version of python-
certbot-dns-google, the reasoning behind this can be found in [3], with
the relevant discussions occurring in [4].

python-certbot-dns-google has no rdepends:
andersson123 at duckstation7:~$ apt rdepends python3-certbot-dns-google
python3-certbot-dns-google
Reverse Depends:
andersson123 at duckstation7:~$

I thus propose we remove this package from the archive, without
blacklisting the package. The package will then come back into the
archive for the p release whenever there is a new version in debian, and
the package gets sync'd.

since feature freeze for oracular is thursday, it's unlikely that the
issue will be fixed before then.
