In practice, isn't taxbird dead and therefore unlikely to change at

Yes. The author works on a successor package that is based
on XUL: http://stesie.github.com/geierlein/ and declares on
his homepage that taxbird itself is dead.

If it's already dead, is there any point shipping it in Wheezy at all? 3+ years of support, without any guarantee we can rely on upstream, is a long time. Not shipping it will not result in it being removed from upgraded systems.
