Popcon is steadily descreasing in the past 5 years, but there are a
few "votes", so there are definitely people using the package actively:
http://qa.debian.org/popcon-graph.php?packages=libarch-perl

The reasoning seems nevertheless comprehensible -- at least from the
point of someone who never used tla.

I though have to point out that there are no other open bug reports
against libarch-perl and there were no bug reports in the past year
either: http://qa.debian.org/data/bts/graphs/liba/libarch-perl.png

So I think it should probably stay until tla itself is about to be
removed as it does no harm if it stays.
