The only thing I can say about Adun is that I took it over a long time
ago from its former maintainer into Debian Med team maintenance and
thanks to the (sometimes heavy) help of a GNUStep expert (namely Yavor
Doganov) I can keep the package in some reasonable shape (package builds
and is - or was at build time - more or less lintian clean). I can not
answer any more detailed questions about it.

This would sound perfectly reasonable to me and I would welcome if
somebody else would spend his time onto this task ...

I do not really feel competent to answer this specific question but in
case there is no volunteer to work on the split of the non-GUI part your
suggestion sounds reasonable.
Kind regards
