Hi!
I've tried to keep some up2date packages in my Github repositories, see
https://github.com/backuppc/backuppc/wiki/Build-Your-Own-Packages ,
specifically
* https://github.com/raoulbhatia/rsync-bpc/tree/3.0.9.12-DEBIAN
* https://github.com/raoulbhatia/backuppc/tree/DEBIAN
* https://github.com/raoulbhatia/backuppc-xs/tree/DEBIAN
Would this help to get things back in shape? Especially, I am no Debian
expert and also have basic requirements for BackupPC only, so I will not
be able to do this properly all by myself.

Thanks for recognizing such issues yourself and for doing the
orphaning yourself!

I agree here and that's why I won't adopt it alone.
I'm nevertheless very interested in getting the package back in shape
and would join a team of people interested in team-maintaining
backuppc (and probably libbackuppc-xs-perl, too, see
https://bugs.debian.org/887491).
So if nobody else shows up soon-ish for joining a potential team, I
might start fixing issues doing a QA upload, getting the packaging up
to current standards, fixing long-standing trivial issues like e.g.
https://bugs.debian.org/488098 and creating a packaging git repository
under https://salsa.debian.org/debian i.e. the collab-maint successor
on Salsa. (Packaging 4.x.y versions is very likely not included in
such a first step.)
JFTR: I'm a BackupPC user and admin for more than 15 years now (in
personal as well as professional surroundings), it's in most cases my
primary backup system, and I'm even brave enough to run one soon-to-be
production instance on Debian Testing. :-)
Regards, Axel
