Do you see this as a worse issue than suds itself (suds upstream) also
going unmaintained?

Is there a downside to shipping it? Are there regressions? I only see it
as a step forward from the archive, not a step back, do you agree? If
so, why not use it as a stop gap?

Sure, for upstreams that are willing to accept a port to a new library,
I guess I'm wondering what we'll do for upstreams that have roughly
Python 3 compatable code, but with suds; I'd hate to overhaul their code
in a debian/patches/ patch to change a library they use unless we need
to
