This has happened to me in the past, if it is indeed a problem with
the mailing list software my best suggestion is to send email to
listmaster@lists.debian.org and sit back and wait. After a week, if
you're still not unsubscribed, repeat.

The list "masters" don't read the email to listmaster daily, it's more
like weekly, so it can take a while for them to get around to
processing your request manually.
