Huh? Submit a bug report against ftp.debian.org, and ask that the package be removed. What's so hard about it? I suppose there might be an issue the original maintainer is MIA, but if a package has been on the "orphaned" list for >6 months, then that should be sufficient to get the package pulled and the WNPP bug closed. Or perhaps we should just decree that no unmaitained packages go out in a stable release. At the beginning of the freeze, mark all the WNPP packages for removal (along with their dependencies :-)), and then see if we can inspire some reaction.
