     package's control file represent?  Why is it useful?
 
+29a. If one of your packages had serious problems like that either
+      a) the current version in the archive is not "mature" enough
+         to be in a Debian release but it is developing and you still
+         want maintain it
+      b) the software got abandonded upstream or got obsolete due to
+         external reasons and you consider it not "worthy" anymore
+         to be included in Debian.
+     How would you proceed in this cases?
+
+29b. You can't/wont maintain a package properly anymore because
+     you have a lack of time/don't use it anymore. What are your
+     options to handle this situation?
