It seems like upstream fixed a bunch of those issues already, is that
right? At least the mediagoblin/tests/test_submission/ seems fine to me.
The extlib directory seems more tricky, but my guess is that you could
just not ship what's in another debian package in the gmg binary
package, and for the rest ship it until someone packages the goods.
What are exactly the issues needing to be solved now?
How are you communicating with upstream, are there bug reports? It would
be helpful if you would cc this bug report in those communications to
get an idea of the progress being made. :)
I'm curious to see this working, but I am too lazy to deploy this
again by hand... :P
