From what I can gather, src:deng currently has no active maintainers
(they've all removed themselves from the git repo) and src:doomsday is
the direct successor of this package.

See some of the changes here:
https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-games/deng.git/log/debian/control?id=4aa10791c37cffffafa046367e0bd9dff4127cd7

Bugs about maintainers leaving:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=708843
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=775830

So I'm just going to ask for the removal myself...

Thanks,
James
