Oh, if upstream says so, I will look up the procedure to ask for a
package to be retired. That's a first for me...
That is not easy , the current procedure is ask for orphan it , if
maintainer doesn't reply , we need open a un reponsive process for the
maintainer , wait a lot of time , orphan the package , take the package
and retire it .
