They introduced many bugs and it is easy to verify this by looking into the
Debian bug tracking system. It lists bugs that never have been in the original
software, so it is obvious that the related bugs have been introduced by the
people who started the fork.

These "Debian packet maintainers" introduced changes that are in conflict with
GPL and Copyright law.
The GPL does not allow to anything you might like to do. You still have to
honor the GPL and the Copyright. The related people did not honor GPL and
Copyright.
