I think you're exagerating and you did not try very hard. Instead you
took the easy way to fix it for you only. :(

I saw that Julien Cristau was not very welcoming in
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=607713 but you could
have NMUed ifupdown anyway even if it was not severity serious. Once
a fixed package exists in sid for a few weeks it's easier to request
an unblock.

And Julien is not the only person in the release team, you could have
tried to work with someone else if he's not cooperative with you.

A compromise could be to provide a backport that works. I mailed
the ifupdown maintainer to ask him to take care of fixing 607713
in sid and maybe in squeeze.
