That's certainly not the case for upstream, where i recently had
basically the ideal interaction:

  https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3D635152

If you're saying the debian package has been abandoned, that's even more
of a reason to file a debian bug -- i don't see any listed outstanding
issues that might indicate abandonment on either the library package or
its source:

 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?package=3Dlibgmime-2.4-2
 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?src=3Dgmime2.4

Filing a bug would help to start documenting abandonment, if that is
indeed the case.  Once it's documented, we can try to do something about =
it.
