By "not maintained anymore" I assume that the Debian folks must mean that there is no Debian maintainer. It is pretty clear to me that CinePaint itself has an active maintainer. Debian runs on many types of hardware. It is likely that CinePaint requires more testing/fixing on variations of big/little endian hardware, compiled for 32 and 64-bits. It seems pretty important to me that CinePaint be included in Debian. While Debian is not the most popular version of Linux, I think that it may be the most reputable and most portable distribution.
