There are two separate issues here: 'abandonment', and

the latter, I think it's a mistake to have a primary application
installation tool that only deals with GUI apps, because it relegates
text-based tools, such as 'units', to a second-class status of being hard
to find and to install. Similarly, at least some apps with inactive
upstream are fine the way they are and do not deserve to be locked up in
the attic.
I'm not sure I'm convinced. If someone is on the command line, isn't it
easiest to use a command-line tool to install those kinds of things?
If you're really interested in this, though, maybe come up with a mockup for
how command-line applications could be presented in the GUI installer in a
way that wouldn't confuse users?
