[Bug 2091859] [NEW] RM: remove git-ubuntu [source, binaries]

[Andreas Hasenack]

Public bug reported:

git-ubuntu was uploaded to debian[1], and eventually synced down to
ubuntu[2].

The preferred packaging method, however, is a snap[3], and that's how
all the ubuntu documentation refers to it. There is no expectation of
maintenance of the deb in ubuntu.

The deb has already blocked a migration[4] by failing its tests, and
also fails to build because of the same tests (now at build-time).

With the above in mind, I would like to request its removal from Plucky.
Additionally, git-ubuntu should then be added to the debian sync
blocklist.
