I think this is still starting a little bit negative, maybe like this? If nobody adopts this package it will vanish from Debian. Do you care for this package being part of Debian? If so, have a look at https://mentors.debian.net/intro-maintainers to understand best practices of maintaining a package. If you are new to Debian packaging, please read the tutorial https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debmake-doc/index.en.html and also study how other Debian maintainers package similar packages.
