It answers a different question. Orphaning means "I don't have time to maintain this package anymore but believe it's worth keeping for now" (as otherwise it'd be a RM). Intending to remove means "I don't think this package is useful at all, in its present state nor any state within a reasonable amount of work. Does anyone disagree?".

Filter out and throw away the fruits (can dump them into a cake, etc), let the drink age at least 3-6 months.
