As far as I'm concerned, you can feel free to remove geda-gaf from Debian.

I'm personally quite happily living on the fork that I've packaged of
lepton-eda.  Lepton-eda is very actively maintained and improved, and
while there's a recent new release of geda-gaf, I'm not likely to spend
any more time working on the geda-gaf packaging.

This is absolutely not true for geda-gaf, the recent release still
demands guile-2.0.  If someone actually wants to fix geda-gaf to work
with guile-2.2 or later, my suggestion would be to look at how
lepton-eda fixed the scheme code in question.
