I suspect that your text above has come out sounding more entitled than you intended, as English is not your first language. Just bear in mind that you are/were expecting volunteers to do free work for you in packaging this software for Debian. If they no longer see the value in doing so, that is their concern and their concern alone. If they never took any interest in it again, that also is solely their own concern. Every single package in Debian relies upon there being maintainers who are interested in packaging it for Debian. We all live in constant hope that our favoured packages are still worth packaging. As you say, you are fortunate enough to still have a project that has active upstream developers so it is still your option to either install this software from upstream yourself, or pay them to do the packaging work that you used to get for free.
