Many Debian/Ubuntu Packages for Intel Accelerators & Other Intel Software Have Been Orphaned

Source: Many Debian/Ubuntu Packages For Intel Accelerators & Other Intel Software Have Been Orphaned - Phoronix

Intro: "In addition to some Intel Linux kernel drivers being "orphaned" following the corporate restructuring at Intel between developers being laid off and others deciding to pursue opportunities elsewhere, these changes have also led to a number of Intel-related software packages within Debian being orphaned. In turn these Intel packages are also relied on by Ubuntu and other downstream Debian Linux distributions.

Around one dozen Intel packages within the Debian archive were recently orphaned, a.k.a. now being unmaintained following developer departures from Intel with no one currently taking up the new responsibility, with also needing to be a Debian Developer or Debian Maintainer to contribute".
