If we for example need to patch 10 dead-upstream projects to re-add telnetlib.py & the corresponding stanza in d/copyright it might be less work to scale it out in an external source package. All of this depends on how many packages will need this telnetlib. codesearch gives pages and pages of stuff with a lot of false positives https://codesearch.debian.net/search?q=telnetlib&literal=1&perpkg=1&page=5
