It sounded like backuppc could replace kbackup. If a different package can
be used "to do simple scheduled archives on tapes with a dialog based
interface", then kbackup should likely be removed.
http://people.debian.org/~ballombe/popcon/main/by_inst shows:
#rank name inst vote old recent no-files
4061 kbackup 52 15 23 14 0
So kbackup is at least somewhat popular. If something can better replace
kbackup then worries about an upstream, a Debian maintainer, and the bugs,
could be "fixed" by removing kbackup.
