Indeed. This would be my preferred option: it's simpler for everyone
involved, it communicates the maintenance status more clearly, and it
avoids confusion that could lead to new reverse-dependencies to
be uploaded.

I did not dare proposing this course of action so far because the
notes from our BoF at DebConf19 are a bit ambiguous about whether we
decided to remove the package from sid, in addition to removing it
from testing.

If another team member +1's the package removal, I'll happily proceed.

Cheers!
