helena is not a key script. Try again. grep -lir 'Options\["help"\]' dak shows:
amber, catherine, claire.py, charisma, fernanda.py, halle, heidi,
jenna, jennifer, jeri, julia, lisa, kelly, madison, melanie, rhona,
shania, ziyi
All at least recognise help and that is IMNSHO more than most of the
key scripts (and several less-than-key ones).

Sorry, don't believe you. See above.

Dinstall::OverrideMaintainer - see katie.conf.security.

No because in the Debian world (which includes queue daemons and
buildds) it's not possible to sanely determine who the human uploader
is. It'd be trivial to add if there was such a way in your
environment.

I find it strange that you take some comments (like the above) at more
than there face value, yet can't even parse seemingly
easier-to-understand comments like the one in cron.weekly.
There is packaging; it produces a deb, but it's not perfect and so
there's a disclaimer in there. And sorry but I still think you didn't
even check.
