Because NMU is not a long-term solution for unmaintained packages?
http://www.gdesklets.de/ has no update since almost one year, the maintainer of
the gdesklets package looks MIA, so it may be much better to find somebody who
whants to take over the package, and if not to file a request for removal.
Otherwise, at whichever next transition, the package will collect new RC bugs,
draw some valuable time that could be spent preparing a NMU or a QA upload on
packages that are more important, and again and again until it is finally
removed.
So to summarise, the ‘N’ in ‘NMU’ is for non-maintainer upload, not for
no-maintainer upload ;)
Have a nice sunday,
