at least for upsd the "no upstream source available" is wrong, the
upstream address in debian/copyright is still valid and although
upstream isn't very active the latest upstream release (not yet in
Debian) was released in June 2002. Although other programs might provide
more features I don't see a good reason for removing upsd.
