guymager is not a real replacement of aimage. While aimage is a tool to produce forensic copies in aff format, guymager is a graphical tool to produce forensic copies in dd, ewf and aff format. I asked to remove aimage from the archive because it was not maintained anymore. At this time, I sent a mail to the upstream author and he replied me that he had no more time to work on it anymore. A few days later, he decided to fix aimage, probably because that I was not the only one ask for it. I think that aimage have a place in Debian because there is no other command line tool that does the job. I use it all the time at work because a lot of our machine does not have a graphical interface. The actual package seems to work, I used it two time yesterday without any problem. I'll look at copyright informations.
