You can ping the bug and maybe the release team anyway. My hunch is
that it is not going to be fixed soon, since the breakage known so far
is limited and there are a plethora of transitions even without adding
another one for sqlite. You may speed this up if you can prove that
Lenny packages break with the libsqlite3-0 from Squeeze.
The maintainer is probably not going to be of much help in any case,
since he had shown some signs of utter incompetence in the past¹, and
I'm not sure how much he has learned from the reactions to the problems
he introduced.
