you're referring here to a non-public file that lists the packages that
(some) sponsors of http://www.freexian.com/services/debian-lts.html have
installed.
Thus I don't believe that this list is the proper place to discuss this.
That said, the file is auto-generated from list of installed packages and
I don't see the harm of having it listed in that file. As long as the
security support status of that packages is clear, it will never appear in
dla-needed.txt and nobody will spend work time on an unsupported package.
Cheers,
