A few weeks ago I tried to update ‘github-cli’ to the latest version,
but it required some new packages to be packaged, and I got stuck trying
to package one of them.

I don’t really have much interest in packaging it (well, Go packages in
general) anymore since I rarely interact with GitHub anyway.  Unless
someone else would like to pick it up, I am OK with closing the bug.

Sorry for not following up on this.
