I assume you're referring to the dpkg upload that's in proposed-updates waiting for the point release in two weeks time? Please check your facts before ranting, particularly with such a wide cross-posting. Also, ttbomk, the dpkg change landing in stable is not likely to magically lead to the architecture being added to unstable - a decision which is not the release team's to make or block. Again, please ensure you've actually done your research. I'm also getting very tired of the repeated vilification of SRM over this, and if there were any doubt can assure you that it is not increasing at least my inclination to spend my already limited free time on Debian activity.
