We have (sometimes quite popular) packages that are unmaintained
upstream for over 20 years - this is not a problem, actually far
less of a problem than active upstreams breaking various stuff.
And the package is not unmaintained in Debian, it is maintained by the
Debian QA Group. This is pretty well maintained by Debian standards,
it doesn't happen here that a trivial one-line FTBFS fix does not get
applied for over half a year.
