A lot of packages (even mine) have 'non-working' watch because of this change, but IMO they are well maintained. > What else? * Packages effectively "maintained" by NMUs * Packages with ancient dh versions (< 8) and standards version (<= 3.9.x) * Packages not using debhelper for no good reason, but rather because nobody has the time to work on it. * Packages with DDs being MIA (for a very long while) * Packages which have not seen uploads in like a decade or so These are some more pointers I could think of.
