That was filed with severity serious so it should have blocked
migration. I guess the migration happened before the bug was filed?
The solution here seems to be more testing of unstable to catch bugs
early.

Not sure if there is anything that can be done about inactive
maintainers other than NMU early, NMU often :)

I guess that would depend on the release team accepting updates via
testing-proposed-updates outside of the freeze.
