Indeed. This would be my preferred option: it's simpler for everyone involved, it communicates the maintenance status more clearly, and it avoids confusion that could lead to new reverse-dependencies to be uploaded. I did not dare proposing this course of action so far because the notes from our BoF at DebConf19 are a bit ambiguous about whether we decided to remove the package from sid, in addition to removing it from testing. If another team member +1's the package removal, I'll happily proceed. Cheers!
