Hi,

the package will require one or more uploads that introduce NEW binary
packages before the next Debian release. Unfortunately, this triggers LLM
"review", and because I refuse to use LLMs for ethical reasons, this stops
me from uploading these.

Upstream is largely LLM-hostile too, so if a replacement maintainer were to
be found who has no such reservations, they would have to coordinate with
the one or two people upstream who share their views, and who largely do
not have time to interact with downstream packagers.

The current situation makes it impossible to maintain this package in a way
that would befit a stable release. Therefore, it makes sense to exclude it.
