  Description     : Tool for adding new lines to files, skipping duplicates (program)

This program provides a tool for adding new lines to files while ensuring that
 duplicate lines are skipped. It offers a convenient solution for managing text
 files by preventing redundant data. The tool is designed to streamline file
 editing processes and improve efficiency when working with large datasets or
 configuration files. It can be useful in various scenarios, such as log
 management, data processing, and configuration management tasks.

The anew project isn't very active at the moment.
There are open bug issues on GitHub that haven't been addressed.
For this reason, I won't proceed with the effort to package anew for Debian.

I've opened an issue on the project's GitHub repository, but haven't received
any responses.
This is yet another reason not to pursue this packaging task further.

I am immensely grateful for the work done by the upstream team, but adhering
to Debian's best practices, it doesn't make sense to continue with this
packaging endeavor.
