I don't want to take over upstream (all the more that stud is not that
useful nowadays, people can use either stunnel or haproxy). I was
thinking of people already using it to have a chance to migrate to
something else during Jessie.

However, I see that the popcon is quite low (19). I'll file a removal
request.
