What's the problem of many orphaned packages, so the suggestion of e. g. New
Maintainer Guide to start the DD career with an orphaned package is sometimes
suboptimal. Because if there is no active upstream you have to do needed work
(bugfixing, improving) by yourself.
If you are able to do this by yourself, this package suits. If you are not a
programmer, a package with an active upstream to delegate work on source code
would be better.
Regards,
Erik
