The CELT problem as been fixed. The problem with Ron Lee is that he
removed all rdepends on libroar wich makes it useless *AFTER* the CELT
problem has been fixed. In fact I know of no problem with libroar wich
justify such a step (-> removing all rdeps means making it unusable for
it's users -> no need to skip it anymore). There are *no* open bug
reports nor was I informed of any problem using another channel.

The bug only asks for updating a recommends after transition (SONAME
change).
I don't see any technical problem in this changelog entry getting fixed.
The other rdepends were removed by him in a similar way.
Also he didn't even tell us (the maintainer team) about those steps. I
found out about this by chance.
In addition I needed to listen a lot to his hate speach against me on
IRC and bugs, ....
As nobody seemd to be interested in this case I decided to leave the
Debian project. I don't see a point in getting flamed for trying my very
best to ensure quality of packages just to finally waste my time by
other people rendering the packages useless.

Thanks for your interest. :)
