debian/copyright points to http://aolserver.sf.net/ where the latest news
item is about it being copied to github in 2010.
https://github.com/aolserver/aolserver got its latest commit in 2009.
This looks fairly dead to me, and unless its maintainer knows better, I
don't think there is going to be any upstream security support.
It has also not been uploaded since an NMU that went into stretch, so
if it's removed from unstable, it will be trivial for prospective users
or maintainers to retrieve it from stretch.
If you want to keep this package around in Debian, please close this bug.
If not, please send the following commands to [email protected],
replacing nnnnnn with this bug's number:
severity nnnnnn normal
reassign nnnnnn ftp.debian.org
retitle nnnnnn RM: aolserver4 -- RoQA; unmaintained upstream, alternatives
exist, low popcon
thanks
(or replace RoQA with RoM if you are the maintainer)

----------------------------------------------
Note that the package(s) have simply been removed from the tag
database and may (or may not) still be in the pool; this is not a bug.
The package(s) will be physically removed automatically when no suite
references them (and in the case of source, when no binary references
it). Please also remember that the changes have been done on the
master archive and will not propagate to any mirrors until the next
dinstall run at the earliest.
Packages are usually not removed from testing by hand. Testing tracks
unstable and will automatically remove packages which were removed
from unstable when removing them from testing causes no dependency
problems. The release team can force a removal from testing if it is
really needed, please contact them if this should be the case.
We try to close bugs which have been reported against this package
automatically. But please check all old bugs, if they were closed
correctly or should have been re-assigned to another package.
Thank you for reporting the bug, which will now be closed. If you
have further comments please address them to [email protected].
The full log for this bug can be viewed at https://bugs.debian.org/891633
This message was generated automatically; if you believe that there is
a problem with it please contact the archive administrators by mailing
