I searched a bit and AFAICT this is a reference to these threads:
  bugs.debian.org/674634
  http://lists.debian.org/debian-release/2012/06/msg00388.html
  http://lists.keep-cool.org/pipermail/announce/2012-May/000086.html

From
  http://packages.qa.debian.org/c/celt.html
I see that Ron Lee is indeed the maintainer of celt.

It seems to me from reading these conversations that Ron has no
vendetta against you.  That kind of accusation is totally
inappropriate.

Ron does indeed have something against the package celt, and his
explanations make perfect sense to me.  That is, he appears to be
right.  He is also doing, AFAICT, the right thing.

I think NMUing the rdepends of celt is the right thing to do, if it is
necessary.  (That is, if they haven't already been updated to turn off
celt.)

Ian.
