It would have been useful if you had at least included an excerpt of the IRC communication in the bug report. Well, and even if he cannot find the time to fix it, couldn't Robert just sponsor the upload?! Even though Robert is in LowThresholdNmu I don't yet feel quite comfortable with this one. Whether it is worth an NMU or not is hard to judge: The bug report has severity: normal and gives no information whatsover of breakage caused by this problem - it just says "this is missing."
