If the maintainer agrees that this package should not be included with sarge, then it is of course reasonable to drop it (preferably with a transition package providing an upgrade path to gnome-terminal, if that's the appropriate replacement).
It depends on the year, when sarge will be released. :-) Too many people are still using MGT today because of some of its outstanding features that are not implemented in gnome2's terminal emulator. I will MGT for sarge and ask for removal from etch if nobody takes over the package.
