I only see one bug report by you. #162308: gkdial-gnome?
This was files as normal but now downgraded properly as wishlist.

I think it is properly "resolved" by changing priority.
This is a feature request. Unless someone feels urge to write a code,
it will stay there. Will you contribute some code here?
Basically, Debian is all about packaging and broken code (mostly security)
fix.
Other option for you is to send a mail to upstream.
Good luck.
