Stupid question of the day:

How long do orphaned packages survive? I ask because no one seems to want
debauch, it's been orphaned for a long time, and there are better
alternatives available.

Should bugs be filed against ftp@debian.org to remove packages that have
been orphaned longer than some number of days? I believe this has been done
in the past as a once-off type of thing, but should it become an automatic
thing with each mailout of the wnpp report?
