The package maintainer can't actually do that; we'd have to ask the
archive administrators ("ftpmasters") to change it. I'll probably do
that after Debian 8 is released (it's currently in freeze, so I can't
make non-critical changes in testing/unstable right now).

I already did this in experimental, in fact. Again, this won't reach
testing/unstable until after Debian 8 is out.

As both the Debian maintainer and the upstream unmaintainer (as in "it
is unmaintained, and I am the unmaintainer") I am well aware of its
status, and glad to see its users are getting the message :-)
