If you ask me what you did sounds sensible if there would be a good
reason to keep that package. Currently it is suggested by scater and
monocle since it is used in the according tests. Given that
Bioconductor maintainers confirmed that it is marked for removal and
obviously unmaintained I'd be rather in favour to patch out the according
tests of the other packages and remove it from Debian.
Kind regards
Andreas.
