Since I take this information from the Packages file, I'm pretty sure
this is what people are seeing, which means bug reports go to those
maintainers and not to -qa, which happens to add yet another point to
my seemingly ethernal problem with orphaned packages. THEY ARE NOT
MAINTAINED.
It's either that or ask for an override, which means that when and if
the package gets adopted you have to ask for a change again, which puts
more work on the shoulders of ftp admins. I rather put more work on
the shoulders of a machine. What is that? That I'm going to break
packages by doing this? That they won't autobuild anymore? See
closing comment on previous paragraph.
