The gnome-1 libraries are in use by other Debian packages. Anyone who does not want to maintain a package should orphan the damn thing. It seems that it is only the gnome maintainers who do not understand this simple principle. Do not declare what other people can or should maintain, simply orphan it. There is no shame in doing so. We know how to deal with orphaned packages. Do not declare that nobody could or should maintain it. If you don't want to, then don't. Orphan the damn thing if you don't want to maintain it. Thomas
