That is your decision, of course.
I vote for the removal of the package axel altogether. The maintainer seems to be not acting at all and refuses to get this package removed. I made a template upload to experimental for him if he cares but no action. axel (2.4-1.1) experimental; urgency=low . * Non-maintainer upload. * Remove dpatch dependency. (E build-depends-on-obsolete-package) * Add hardening with dh v9. Closes: #645271 * Include unreleased upstream fixes. Closes: #533103 * Fix FTBFS for GNU/Hurd. Closes: #532793 * Add ja.po and unfuzzy translations. Closes: #663286 * Support IPv6. Closes: #525290 * Support copyright-format 1.0 and update policy to 3.9.3. He did not make any upload to sid. This package should be removed if maintainer has not put his priority. Osamu -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
