False.  It is acceptable to NMU without advance warning for build
failures.

But as I've already pointed out, you had 3 months of warning that you'd
better get your package straight.

No, I didn't.

I would expect Debian package maintainers -- especially people who
claim to have to been doing that job for over a year -- to be capable of 
running lintian for themselves.

I don't remember saying this, though I certainly may have said something
similar.

Utterly false.  You have a persecution complex.  The purpose of my NMU
was get the package properly cleaned up and increase the percentage of
buildable packages, especially on the IA64 architecture.

Sorry, it's a matter of record that you did only one maintainer upload
in the first 14 months you maintained the package, while 2 NMU's
happened that fixed release-critical bugs.  Also, it is a matter of
record that you did not properly ack those NMU's.  Maybe you want to
censor that changelog entry because you are ashamed of the truths it
brings to light?

Pointless, since they were already included in -4.
