Thanks for your work!

Although the high number of packages makes me wonder, if at least a
quick MIA check of the maintainers is warranted, or - if those packages
are needed in bullseye at all.
Of course, there are some packages which are working just fine with the
same source for years, but at least some debhelper/compat or policy
check and upload at some point makes sense.

I think Debian should sometimes be better and faster in removing
unmaintained stuff.
