And this shows to a user trying to install it, how?

The "maintainer" has not bothered even replying to a similar message 
I sent him earlier. (Well, if there's something good to be said, at
least there was a clear contact address in the package this time.
Something that distros tend to hide.) 

And if he really "maintains" the package, he should have marked is
deprecated before the freeze. But distros don't maintain marginal
packages, they just throw them in and expect the author to deal with
the distro's users with the random snapshot that happened to be there
at the megafreeze time.
