2017 is fairly recent for Debian standards, and a package failing to
build for a long time is normally removed only when it starts causing
troubles for other packages, especially when the maintainer is well
known and active elsewhere.

These 3 are very much not a reason to remove a package, at most they
indicate a package not very well maintained, but it's not ground for
removal.
