It seems nobody has done so. I, for one, am happy. :-)

As you can see, this isometric semi-3D GUI to NetHack is no longer
maintained upstream. Instead of this, most people nowadays play Vulture's
Eye, which is based on Falcon's Eye.
Even though it's old, Falcon's Eye still works and is still fun. I have
submitted a patch to the outstanding RC bug at
http://bugs.debian.org/353552 and I hope my patch will make it into the
package.
I also started work on packaging vultureseye but did not submit an ITP
because I am unsure if I will finish the packaging anytime in the next 6
months. I got fairly far though. If anyone would like me to post my
.diff.gz, email me. I would be extremely glad if someone else finished
work on my .diff, packaged vultureseye, and maintained it. :-)

I think ilisp should be kept: I have used it recently with clisp and it
still works fine.

This is a doc package. It requires very little maintenance.

Psh may be old but I tried it recently out of curiosity and it works
fine.

There are no bugs against this package, though I admit the package is
only useful to Xbox owners who want to run homebrew software on their
Xbox. But, why propose to remove a non-buggy package? :-)
