How about we demote libnginx-mod-http-geoip to universe? Given:
- nginx upstream isn't interested in switching to geoip2 (libbaxminddb). So much that ubuntu went to great lengths to add a module to support it.
- nginx is relying on obsolete geoip1 library (maxmind, the upstream, calls it "legacy", but I have no idea for how long it will be supported)
- bind9 was calling geoip1 deprecated already in the 9.11 releases, and finally removed support for it in the new stable 9.16 release

Bind9 is the main reason for this change, but at the same time it feels like a good opportunity to move forward and demote legacy code.

The only reverse-depends of libnginx-mod-http-geoip are nginx packages themselves.
