I agree with you that the current situation is confusing, and that should be
changed.
I don't understand what happens with solution (i), and why it does not promise
success. I suppose that you have contacted with Martin in the past to correct
that, and the problem persists. Am I wrong?
After reading the maintainers reference, I only know that I am not so
experienced to determine if a NMU is needed, or don't (I'm not a maintainer,
neither a DD, but I want to help). But as a user, and a programmer, I
understand this should be fixed.
Best regards.
