Sigh. I guess it'll have to be that way :-) I'll follow the community fork and
put it in my own overlay.

Unfortunately we cannot keep it unless the upstream shows a sign of life. You 
can still use the web interface etc. of LastPass. There is also a community 
fork of lastpass-cli[0], which I would be opposed to maintaining because it’s 
not sanctioned by LogMeIn.

Given the fact that upstream is practically dead now, you can just not delete 
the package. Most likely it’ll eventually break if one of its dependencies’ ABI 
changes, which would require a rebuild. If you really want to keep the package, 
you can save it in a local overlay and use it for as long as it lasts. Just 
remember that if LogMeIn decides to change the web API at some point, 
lastpass-cli is effectively a program with undefined behavior.

I actually use lastpass-cli, because my company use LastPass. Is there an
alternative, or can we keep this somehow?

Due to recent changes to Lastpass, I switched to Bitwarden.  It may be
worth mentioning somewhere that you can export from Lastpass and import
to Bitwarden and not lose any passwords.  My switching took about 5
minutes, some of which is downloading the sources and add-ons. 

Thought it worth a mention.
