Well... the original version went through a review way back when and
maintainers are supposed to keep their packages compliant with the rules, but
sometimes mistakes are made and rules change.

Very likely, however new packages need to meet the criteria of the day, or at
least address why an exception is justified, before they can be accepted.

You may want to report them so you can incorporate the fixes or reuse their
justifications.

wrt. man pages, does the new one differ much from the existing one? If not,
perhaps create a simlink so that people can see what it is/does (without
needing to know the original binary name).
