In the end, it just takes time to maintain two packages. If we can focus our attention on one-of-the-two, then I would recommend xournalpp which is still somewhat maintained.
I think these are effectively different apps and I can imagine someone looking explicitly for the original Xournal, but if you feel strongly about it and will submit a PR eol'ing it, I won't oppose.
@TingPing @barthalion Is it an idea to remove this application from the store, and to migrate everybody to Xournalpp?
