Agreed; here are the notes I made when going through all the orphaned
packages:
aspseek (2005-08-24) REMOVE
Has never released with Debian, Apache module under a GPL license
conflicting with the Apache license, no upstream activity in three
years, 15 popcon installations and only 4 votes. Would need a
maintainer to pursue a licensing change with an inactive upstream or
remove the Apache module component. There are other packages in the
archive serving a similar purpose (htdig and swish-e, for instance).
Orphaned 2005-08-05.
