Mmm; although I'm not sure what the consensus is on this, I think it
is reasonable that the 'sid' version of Maintainer takes precedence.
The BTS will send stable bugs to the new maintainer, rather than the
one in stable.

My preference would be to avoid as many checkboxes as possible. Yes,
there are some edge cases, but I thought this patch might help flush
them out. ;) (I wonder what should happen when a package changes
maintainer, but then gets removed from unstable? Not very common.)
Another interesting set of packages would be NMUs, where the uploader
is responsible for any issues caused by the NMU.
