devedeng is already in the archive (Debian and Ubuntu), confusingly
keeping the old devede name. See changelog for 4.3-1:

Bombono-dvd is in Ubuntu, an attempt was made to get it into Debian, but
it seems to have stalled for some reason. Alessio was maintaining it,
but I know he is very busy these days. So if we want to seed it, we
would probably have to start maintaining it ourselves, or try and finish
getting it into the Debian Multimedia Team.

There are some other potentials on this page (but it takes some sifting
through):
