Only my opinion:

Just do this, IMO i.e. drop package. I don't think it is worth spending so much
time to fix this when we have no real users.
There is a "possibility" that the popcon score (2) would have come from our us installing it in
own machines only for testing purposes.
Upstream is dead as well, so this gives me several green flags to
proceed with a removal.
