Rhetorical question: does it really matter if it's dead upstream ?
src:gcc-3.3 was in Debian for 2 decades. The last 16 years it was there
just to provide libstdc++5 for legacy binaries, years after upstream
moved on to newer version.
Can't we keep GTK2 in the archive like src:gcc-3.3 was ?
With no active development, just making sure it still builds.
