Bug description:
  This legacy driver had the last update on 2022.11.22, and is EOL
  upstream. We should remove it from the archive before the next LTS,
  maybe even before Mantic is released.

  We're planning on migrating the kernel from fbdev drivers to using
  simpledrm, but this old driver doesn't support the fbdev emulation
  layer, meaning that VT's would remain blank when the driver is used.

  Similarly 418-server and 450-server are also EOL and unsupported.

  Also we shomehow have remains of 440-server published in the archive,
  with many superseeded (hostile takeover) of binary packages by
  450-server.
