This is really a minor concern and it wouldn't even be valid if we continue
backporting for next release.
We both know that often there is no upgrade path when software is removed
from Debian (e.g. discontinued upstream) or when it couldn't keep up with
library transitions in time for release.
Here is another risk: would there be an upgrade path if I stop maintaining
Litecoin? I don't know but future unknowns shouldn't prevent us from making
sane decisions.
