No, I don't have any thoughts..:) I went on this package because its templates were changed by the former maintainer (Paul Slootman) when he uploaded the last version.... Paul actually apparently tried to fix every pending bug report in the package before orphaning it (obvisouly because he ack'ed that, not using it anymore he could not maintain it properly). So, my involvment there is just to bring back the debconf l10n to a good shape and do a review of the rewritten debconf templates. And I know nothing about the package. Stil, maybe Paul could give a small help in this. That might include some hints about the need for the package nowadays. I can roughly guess that ISDN stuff is much less widely used now...but that's only a rought guess and I may be very wrong (some places, such as Germany, had|have a quite wide development of ISDN so there may be people who ar still using what's provided in the package.
