We are talking mostly about packages that are outdated by 7-10 years,
unmaintained both in practice (no uploads) and in theory (no formal
maintainer). I used words "somewhat useful" for packages that can be
installed and run (unlike some other packages that we also still have), I
didn't try to estimate whether they are *actually useful to anyone*.

Please keep packages you care about in a good shape in Debian. I assume
you've read the past discussion in this bug and realize that even mono
itself is unmaintained, very outdated and RC-buggy and package like it
often miss stable releases even when they aren't removed from unstable.
If by "a handful of Mono libraries" you mean libraries not built from
src:mono please keep those in a good shape in Debian too (I would be
surprised if all of them are still in debian though, as there are maybe 5
of such libraries in Debian).
