This would be a solid solution, if that new repo needs to be manually enabled, and has a name that states that Debian doesn't maintain the packages anymore!

Yeah, Intel has never been one to shy away from using a few twisted numbers here and there

A good middle road for Debian to take might be simply to move all unmaintained packages to a new repo of that name. This gets them out of the main repo but still leaves them accessible to anyone who is still interested in them.

Trusting Intel's marketing is like trusting Boeing when it says the door is less likely to pop off the plane mid-air.
