I think this is really up to you as the maintainer, but your plan
sounds reasonable to me!

Thanks.

Bug#818124: easymp3gain: FTBFS in stretch

Hi!
I really wonder if this is still worth fixing... This package is dead
upstream (upstream vanished, every attempt to contact him again
failed), and I am essentially keeping it on life-support here. It also
has a relatively low popcon index, and I announced that it is
threatened to be removed about a year ago, unless maybe someone take
over upstream maintenance or forks it.
Additionally, mp3gain isn't present in Debian anymore, only
vorbisgain, which makes this package even less useful.

So tl;dr, I think removing the package from Debian is sadly the better
option than fixing yet another FTBFS. If there are still users, maybe
a different maintainer who actually still uses this package and can
fix functional issues can take it over.

I will leave this issue open for a while, maybe wait for the package
to be removed from testing and wait for feedback - if there is
sufficint interest, I might revive the package even. Otherwise, I
intend to drop it from Debian in a month.

Cheers,
Matthias
