The golang-github-ngaut-go-zookeeper package ships upstream code from
2015, and appears unmaintained.  It has no reverse dependencies in
Debian.

https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/golang-github-ngaut-go-zookeeper

The upstream project had its last git commit 11 years ago:

https://github.com/ngaut/go-zookeeper

This removal request is part of a larger batch to remove 100+ unused
golang-*-dev packages from Debian.  I believe the QA cost associated
with keeping all of them is larger than the cost of (hopefully extremely
rare) re-introduction of any accidentally removed package if there is
ever any future need for it.  Meanwhile, I don't think it is useful to
keep this package in Debian.
