Umm - in a way. AFAIK packages end up being assigned to QA if

concentrate on the packages they care about (for whatever reason that
might be) and just push the rest into unmaintained. This would IMHO a)
further reduce the work of QA and b) take it out off "officialy supported"
Debian, so packages which are unmaintained + have bugs don't put a
burden on Debians reputation/quality.
This is just nuts. If it's a junk package that nobody wants to maintain
it shouldn't be hosted by debian. If it bothers you so much that people
might not be able to get it, then create an apt archive at
posipeksjunk.org--there's no need for packages not associated with
debian to be on a debian server, and there's no need for debian to
create procedures for hosting packages debian doesn't want.
