I published my first ever AUR package:

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/polyglot-git

As per the submission guidelines, I made sure that neither `polyglot`
nor `polyglot-git` currently exist in any official repositories or the
AUR.

Upon publishing my package, I saw that it is listed as optionally
required by four other AUR packages, including this one (due to
listing `polyglot` as provided in the PKGBUILD):

https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=polyglot-winboard-git

The package `polyglot` no longer exists, but its PKGBUILD is still available:

https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=polyglot

As things stand, those four packages will automatically pull in the
one I just published as a dependency for no good reason.

I'm asking for advice as to which actions it would be most proper to
take at this point.
