Hm, in #625230 (libfile-path-perl) we had a similar discussion, and
the conclusion there was to leave the package in unstable and the RC
bug open, until a new upstream release appears.

However we proceed, I'd suggest to do the same for both packages. And
I still slightly prefer to keep them, unless we know that there won't
be any new releases.

Cheers,
