[Bug 2088157] [NEW] exiv2 transition: please remove koko 23.08.5+ds.1-1ubuntu3 and binaries from plucky release pocket

[Rik Mills]

Public bug reported:

exiv2 transition: please remove koko 23.08.5+ds.1-1ubuntu3 and binaries
from plucky release pocket

current koko Qt5 version in plucky proposed FTBFS on rebuild/sync in
exiv2 transition.

exiv2.html#!good,bad,partial,unknown,!notintesting

To build koko now needs a new upstream version built with Qt6.

However, that has not been packaged yet in Debian.

Doing this ahead in Ubuntu has the problem that upstream koko unmodified
source tars require network access in the build to download external
data files.

https://invent.kde.org/graphics/koko/-/blob/release/24.08/README.md?ref_type=heads

This requires a repack of the upstream source tars to include those
files in Debian/Ubuntu.

I am not prepared to do this in Ubuntu as we may end up with a tarball
mismatch with Debian when they eventually do it.

Koko is a leaf package with no rdeps, so can safely be removed from
plucky/release until it can be updated again.
