But please be careful when talking to upstream. From my quick reading of the mail and the bugs, it is only talking about the maintainer, meaning the person in Debian working on the packaging, not the upstream developers – which might find the question „could you please cooperate with Debian?“ reproachful. The current status of the package with regard to entering wheezy can be seen on http://packages.qa.debian.org/f/flightgear.html where it says: out of date on kfreebsd-amd64: flightgear (from 2.4.0-1.2) out of date on kfreebsd-i386: flightgear (from 2.4.0-1.2) flightgear (source, i386, amd64, armel, armhf, kfreebsd-amd64, kfreebsd-i386, mips, mipsel, powerpc, s390x, sparc, ia64) has new bugs! Updating flightgear introduces new bugs: #724686. That but says it is blocked by #720816, which was only closed recently. So there is progress! The page also says that flightgear is part of two transitions, which can further slow things down. So I guess eventually things will work out, just be patient for a little while.
