Not yet, but given that the last changelog entries contain a very prominent notice to consider libemail-sender-perl instead: "** PLEASE CONSIDER USING EMAIL-SENDER INSTEAD **" and that libemail-sender-perl is written by the same upstream author, I think it is better to switch the remaining few packages to use that instead of having to eventually maintain a package for Debian that is no longer maintained upstream.
