The golang-github-templexxx-reedsolomon package was last uploaded on
2018-02-11 and appears unmaintained.  It has no reverse dependencies in
Debian.

https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/golang-github-templexxx-reedsolomon

The last upstream release was ~7 years ago, although arguably there are
some more recent git commits:

https://github.com/templexxx/reedsolomon

We have two other similar implementations of reedsolomon for Go in
Debian, the first one is multi-core variant:

https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/golang-github-klauspost-reedsolomon
https://github.com/klauspost/reedsolomon

https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/golang-github-yeqown-reedsolomon
https://github.com/yeqown/reedsolomon

I don't think it is useful to keep this package in Debian.
