This was discussed on -devel last month. Please refer to:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2006/01/msg00731.html
In this thread, it is discussed that an NMU is not the correct thing to
do just becuase someone disagrees with the maintainer. Seems like -ctte
is the correct thing to do. I'm frankly suprised nobody has written
-ctte yet. It seems obvious to me that this bug should be RC.
