I have no opinion if those fields should be added but I don't agree with your concluison above. In my experience it's correct that un(der)-maintained packages usually have old Standars-Versions or debhelper compatibility levels etc. But the opposite is not necessarily true: They are not a reason to upload an otherwise fine package in themselves, so there are enough packages without bug reports or new upstream releases which haven't been touched in a while. Just because I was curious myself: Here are the numbers for the pkg-perl packages (from git): 1532 Standards-Version: 3.9.6 503 Standards-Version: 3.9.5 271 Standards-Version: 3.9.4 227 Standards-Version: 3.9.7 161 Standards-Version: 3.9.8 148 Standards-Version: 3.9.2 92 Standards-Version: 3.9.1 86 Standards-Version: 3.9.3 50 Standards-Version: 3.8.3 39 Standards-Version: 3.8.4 31 Standards-Version: 3.8.2 30 Standards-Version: 3.8.0 27 Standards-Version: 3.7.3 15 Standards-Version: 3.8.1 3 Standards-Version: 3.9.0 Cheers, gregor -- .''`.
