Any objections to doing the same in Kubuntu when next cycle opens?
Some interesting follow-ups:

Hi everybody! I'm considering asking for the RoM removal of amarok
from the archive. It has plenty of bugs, no active upstream (aka dead
upstream) and no finished port to Qt5.
With a package in this state I would normally just go ahead and ask
the removal, but I know lots of people love amarok...
My suggestion for them would be to get it from stable until they find
a suitable replacement. But the truth is that it currently does not
belongs in Buster and there is no signal of having a chance to avoid
it.
Does anyone has anything against this?
Kinds regards, Lisandro.
