There's no difference between maintaining it in stable or -updates: the
later is merged at point release times[1].

The question is if there is somebody who will prepare the necessary
updates and talk to the release team. There are some more packages in
the same situation (*marked* packages maintained by pkg-perl):

*clive*, cclive, anything else using libquvi:
I'm currently preparing updates for clive in squeeze and plan to do so
for libquvi-scripts in wheezy. libquvi is the backend for clive, cclive,
quvi, nomnom and some other programs in wheezy.

*libwww-youtube-download-perl*:
Probably broken in wheezy, newer version in unstable. Not part of
squeeze.

youtube-dl:
Not working in wheezy, currently has a removal hint[2]. Not part of
squeeze.
