It is not useful to keep a package that fails to build due to (make)depending on deprecated, unmaintained, broken package(s).

This should remain separate much as the gnucash version release and gnucash-docs version release are separate in the extra repos. FURTHER, it is up to date and does compile and work, as does gnucash-git.

Not useful to keep the broken pkgbase=gnucash-docs-git.

It was last changed in 2015, and has been failing to build since at
least 2020 due to makedepends=rarian's reported FTBFS that year, which
persists to this day.

But no one noticed. gnucash-docs-git has only 2 votes, and 1 comment
from maintainer made in 2017.

Extra repo has the latest stable gnucash and gnucash-docs.

If the rolling 'git' docs is needed, it is best to enable it in the
main gnucash-git's PKGBUILD. With this merge, it will become possible
in the latter to create a split package with the same 'gnucash-docs-
git' name.
