The inital topic was fixing bug #241689 and completly unrelated to
anything past the second or third mail. I expressed my intention to
prepare an source NMU fix a FTBFS amd64 bug and then there was a
ping-pong with the maintainer to reach a compromise what that fix
should contain. Nothing questionable but totally unrealted to the
the rest of the thread.

Which now isn't OK any longer. Non-DDs are untrusted (as in hasn't
been declared trusted and no DD on its own can decide that for Debian).

That was never in question.
