I work with non-free video games (source not available), and a couple
ones built on top on old versions of AGS (Adventure Game Studio) used to
rely on Allegro 4.4.

Since then, ScummVM got great support for AGS, and of the thousand
games I work with I can no longer find a single one still relying on
Allegro 4.4 that could not be run using ScummVM instead.

So I have no reason to ask for Allegro 4.4 to stay available in Debian.

If rafkill is to stay in Debian, it should probably be ported to build
with the current (5.x) Allegro libraries.
