It means I'm (or was) considering demoting the package to [universe] and giving focus to other ones that might do similar things. We are trying to focus in single pkgs / functionality in [main] and I thought about considering keepalived "deprecated" in favor of a single tool to control active/passive virtual Ips (pacemaker in this case).
For active/active load balancing we already have haproxy & nginx in [main] (and pound in [universe]) and, even being L7 balancing, and not L4 + VRRP like keepalived, somehow I thought IPVS was already "deprecated". In a deeper look now seems that keepalived is well maintained and updated so I'll probably just mark keepalived as a "core" HA package.
Thanks for the feedback! That's exactly the reason of my e-mails =).
