I admit I personally do not mind *why* you did not uploaded the package.
I just wanted to address the fact that you *claimed* in d/changelog,
that the ITP bug was closed in a *historic* changelog paragraph.  The
only thing I wanted to make you aware about is, that the "Close: #<bug>"
phrase should always remain in the latest changelog paragraph if the
package is not uploaded (for whatever reason).  The rationale is that
the machine readable parser is only reading this latest paragraph and
the ITP bug would be hidden from the parser which would be an unneeded
loss of information (besides the fact that your changelog is not correct
strictly speaking).

I will not dive into this but may be it is possibly to consider some
small dummy dataset which might prove the functionality?
