Comment 2 for bug 1828230

I personally think that the right way to go here is the second approach. I don't think it's wise to downgrade golang-goprotobuf-dev for this reason, as it should be always the other way around (especially that here it seems like it's just 'dropping deprecated functionality').

In eoan I see we already synced 1.11.0-1, so it should be good from this regard. But for disco I'd recommend working around it by creating wrapper functions around the new API and applying that on top of the current disco-proposed upload. If you could, please provide a debdiff of such a package (basing on the one in disco-proposed) and assigning ubuntu-sponsors. Someone should then upload the package after building it with -v1.6.0-3 (to have the both changelog entries in .changes).
