It means I'm (or was) considering demoting the package to [universe] and giving 
focus to other ones that might do similar things. We are trying to focus in 
single pkgs / functionality in [main] and I thought about considering 
keepalived "deprecated" in favor of a single tool to control active/passive 
virtual Ips (pacemaker in this case).

For active/active load balancing we already have haproxy & nginx in [main] (and 
pound in [universe]) and, even being L7 balancing, and not L4 + VRRP like 
keepalived, somehow I thought IPVS was already "deprecated". In a deeper look 
now seems that keepalived is well maintained and updated so I'll probably just 
mark keepalived as a "core" HA package.

Thanks for the feedback! That’s exactly the reason of my e-mails =).
