Bug Description

current versions of RNCBC packages are very outdated. Example:
rtirq-init is stuck at the 2015 version and there have been very significant updates to this software, which is critical for all audio workstation users (e.g. Ubuntu Studio).

RNCBC maintains updated .deb binaries here:
https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/home:rncbc
https://launchpad.net/~rncbc

Is it possible to get these into the repositories? This could be an upstream issue if Ubuntu depends on taking whatever version Debian has already packaged...

This is 100% an upstream issue. The clue is to look for "ubuntu" in the package version number. If it's not there, then it's a package synchronized from Debian. Please file this bug there.

Imho packages that are outdated to a level that makes them unuseable or
much much less capable and/or not beeing supported anymore by upstream
because they aren’t taken care for in Debian should be removed until a
maintainer is found or the issue is fixed in Debian.

Just copying major bodies of work from the original distribution which in
turn seems having lost interest in tracking upstream progress is no good
explanation for distributing totally outdated stuff.

A distribution is ultimately responsible for what it distributes and simply
closing such reports is not very friendly towards users.

At least such a report could be used to track further steps to improve the
definitively unsatisfying situation.

Is there integration and tracking for upstream Debian bug reports or forwarding such a report upstream?

There is no automatic upstream bug report forwarding. Sorry.

I submitted a report upstream via reportbug -B debian

In the mean time rncbc has been nice enough to include binaries for debian based systems.
