You should contact debian-admin.

Yes, please.

I never found any mention on the urgency to use, but seriously, you will
just apply a relatively minor autotool patch, which will in no way
change the compiled files of gmetadom, and should thus be exactly
similar to the version currently sitting for 9 days in unstable. So i
doubt it will introduce new bugs other than the ones which you will
catch anyway by failed autobuilders.
I am hesitating about uploading fixed lablgl,lablgtk and lablgtk2
packages with urgency high. I think i will wait for after the
mini-freeze. For information, it only changes the debian/rules to
install in /usr/lib/ocaml/3.07 instead of /usr/lib/ocaml/3.07+2, fixed
version are already checked in in SVN, in case somebody needs to rebuild
them.
