No problem at all.  While I'm at it: any idea on how many persons are
using the Debian Org package? I suspect there are less and less users,
because Org comes with Emacs and is easily installable as an Emacs
package, but perhaps I'm wrong.

Not anymore.  When org-contrib was very new, yes, this would have been
a good idea to smooth the transition for some users.

I don't think the issue needs to be fixed anymore, unless there are
many bug reports against org-contrib (or some library in org-contrib)
missing.

Not anymore.
