unmaintained universe packages

[Michael Nagel]

Hello there,

there seem to be some unmaintained universe packages,

e.g. glipper:
https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glipper/+bug/255060
e.g. gcusor:
https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gcursor/+bug/152719

these packages suffer from bit rot, they have worked once (probably), but are broken now, and nobody cares for them.

what's done in such cases?

Regards,
Michael
