The need for gcc-2.95 usually means the source code is broken (in C99 terms) and should be fixed. Do you have an example of an use case where this is unfeasible, and which is important enough to justify continued maintenance of gcc 2.95? Device driver development for embedded systems?

Debian is not rushing to drop gcc 2.95, but in the long run, it's inevitable. Or, to put it in your words, there is a business case for dropping gcc 2.95 support in etch. If current debian maintainer(s) don't want to maintain gcc-2.95 any longer, they should probably orphan it, just like any
