I agree. The situation with openjpeg is far from ideal. I was
working on a lot of multiarch changes supporting wine, and this one
got blocked for a while by people expecting the 1.5 transition to
happen. Then the release team made the call on that a couple days
before the freeze, at that point those opposing stopped opposing, and
so I finally uploaded the multiarch nmu again to 1.3 but that was
unfortunately late (two days after the freeze).
You've probably already seen all the details of those discussions in
#675773 and #669348.

Fortunately the multiarch conversion for this package was very
straightforward and not very invasive, but I can understand your
alternative perspective. We are still in the early freeze where
riskier changes are allowable, aren't we?

I apologize for missing that. You are quite correct, that should have
been bumped to 9 as well. I've just uploaded 1.3+dfsg-4.5 with that
change.
Best wishes,
