-Description: Transitional package for golang-github-containerd-containerd-dev
- This is a transitional package to ease upgrades to the
- golang-github-containerd-containerd-dev package. It can safely be removed.

We would preferably not be dropping binary packages as part of an SRU. In this case I'll allow it because:

- the package has no reverse-(build-)dependencies in bionic.
- it is already a transitional package in bionic-updates.
- the SRU does not make either the release version of the golang-github-docker-containerd-dev or the updates version uninstallable (the former because it has no dependencies, the latter because it has an unversioned dependency which will be satisfied by the golang-github-containerd-containerd-dev from this version); therefore, the SRU will not fail to apply automatically as a result of packages becoming newly uninstallable.
