That's not easy to answer, since many packages are maintained by a team
(e.g. x.org is maintained by the "x strike force"),
and no one ever tried to count them.  A rough estimation would be:

$ grep "Maintainer: " /var/lib/apt/lists/ftp.debian.org_debian_dists_sid_main_source_Sources|sort -u|wc -l
1783



Yours sincerely,
  Alexander
