- You could explain this to the maintainer, or
- you could actually show him that it is true, or
- you could identify more packages and file more bugs, or
- you could start collecting information about packages that need to be
NMUed because the maintainer don't react.

Only *if* they are rebuilt. I have not checked it (If you'd do this it
would help us more than this discussion), but from my experience with
other bug reports related to the teTeX-2.0.2->3.0 transition, at least
50% of the affected packages are basically unmaintained.

You forgot the promise.
