This is unacceptable. We cannot have a situation such that others must
approve Debian files or have control over them for our distribution. If we
are prevented from being able to make changes -- ie, bugfixes, security
fixes, etc. -- even if that prevention simply means a slower integration of
changes, we have lost control of the Debian version of the package,
effectively giving control to someone that is not a Debian maintainer. This
is not acceptable.
