opencl-amd (and opencl-amd-dev) are not out of date. 

Latest version is 6.3.3 - 
https://rocm.docs.amd.com/en/latest/about/release-notes.html which only updates 
the rocm systems profiler for a minor bug. Due to the nature of these packages, 
which are over 25 GB in size, it would not be ideal to update on every minor 
patch. 

I also have been updating this package constantly for the last 4 years so I 
have a pretty good idea when it's time to update and when to not. AMD release 
procedures have been questionable at best, with silent updates in existing 
repositories and an akamai cache that will serve wrong files for weeks and no 
easy way to cache bust if you are not careful.

I'm not going to waste peoples time and bandwidth, including the package 
maintainers time in this mailing list, and my own. IMO there is no reason for 
an orphan request at all. Be patient.
