Andrew's suggestion in his blog is interesting, though: "I think if debian-boot is going to mandate this freeze for udeb-generating packages, then someone on debian-boot should be getting a report every day of udeb-generating packages that are due to enter testing in the next 24-48 hours, so they can be proactively vetted and their entry into testing not delayed unnecessarily. It shouldn't have to fall on me as the package maintainer to have to notice." That seems feasible and sustainable, isn't it?
