The homepage http://yapra.rubyforge.org/ has been dead since at least 2017.
It self-identifies as "Yet Another Pragger implementation",
it's unclear what "Pragger"... was,
but it's dead since at least 2010
(https://web.archive.org/web/20090322234254/http://pragger.ikejisoft.com/ works;
 next capture in 2011-08 is gone).
(that page varyingly refers to it as PRagger and Pragger,
 and I'm guessing "PraggerはRubyで書かれたPlaggerもどきです。"
 means it's a ruby implementation of plagger,
 which is https://github.com/miyagawa/plagger
 and was http://plagger.org/ before that became adware around 2020?)

The package is still published on rubygems at
  https://rubygems.org/gems/yapra
and there's a git repository at
  https://github.com/yuanying/yapra

The maintainer (tach@) is MIA since 2013.
The last maintainer upload to sid was on 2012-04-21,
uploading 0.1.2-7.

The versions on rubygems are thus:
    0.2.2 February 09, 2012 (42 KB)
    0.2.0 February 09, 2011 (43.5 KB)
    0.1.3 December 04, 2009 (43 KB)
    0.1.2 October 13, 2008* (52 KB)
    0.1.1 June 25, 2008* (50 KB)
    0.1.0 June 19, 2008* (48 KB)
so the version in Debian was already outdated by years.

The many NMUs have since gutted the package (0.1.2-7.1)
and keep resuscitating it as it rots into being RC-buggy.

The popcon is inst=4 (vote=1 old=3);
it's not worth the effort.
