There was some action on #588588 again today. Let's hope it leads to a
resolution.

Since your QA page indicates that you are just getting started with
Debian development (great!) and you appear to have some closer contacts
with aircrack-ng, have you thought about asking to co-maintain the
aircrack-ng package? There are already two maintainers, but they don't
appear to be very active, at least on aircrack-ng. One of them is a DD,
so he might be available as a sponsor.

The package was removed only from testing (not sid) as to allow the
Squeeze release to progress -- #588588 was RC and blocking it.
