No need to speculate; just refer to the Developer's Reference. An orphaned package, by definition, is one that has gone through the procedure for orphaning a package <URL:http://www.debian.org/doc/developers-reference/ch-pkgs.en.html#s-orphaning>; "up for adoption" is one that meets the same document's guidelines on adopting a package <URL:http://www.debian.org/doc/developers-reference/ch-pkgs.en.html#s-adopting>. -- \ "Choose mnemonic identifiers.
