The package "hamster-time-tracker" (which is highly important for my daily work :-) has been removed from TW 1 year ago with the argument "depends on old things we would like to drop". What were the offending "old things" because of which this package has been dropped?
Looking at the last upstream commit [1] from last July, it seems the code is unmaintained (and greatly re-written in another project) ATM:

Well, the tool is pretty stable. It has been working well for me for

summarizes the upstream situation, which is certainly not ideal. Yet
I'm wondering whether this warrants dropping the package altogether.
I'm not aware of a suitable replacement, other than the new hamster
project, which seems to make good progress but is still in alpha stage.
