I think I've learned that, too.

I don't really support this idea but: what if a branch of the archive is
opened where this packages could be put in and Debian makes a explicit
statement indicating that packages there are orphaned or very little
maintained? This would be like non-free where people knows that only
non-free software sits there.

I don't like the idea of having tons of repositories (i.e. Ubuntu), but
how will we deal with the fact that there are orphaned packages with
very few users and a low maintenance rate?
