I have serious objections to this. I'm taking it that you haven't
talked this over with Ryan yet. It's just not acceptable to adopt a
package against the current maintainer's wishes.
If you don't think Ryan's taking the package seriously, you have a
number of options, most of which are outlined here:
http://www.debian.org/doc/developers-reference/ch-beyond-pkging.en.html#s-mia-qa
You should follow that procedure before doing a source NMU. Some other
options:
* Submitting patches
* Offering to co-maintain
Being confrontational doesn't help us work together to make Debian.
