Just for the record: I do think that packages maintained by the TeX Task Force which I'm a member of should be NMU'ed just as any other package. Even if we were not completely unresponsive, there where times when we just responded to a RC bug: "This seems to be cause by $foo. If anyone finds the time to verify it and NMU the package, go ahead". There might be times where we won't do even that for a week. And we've already been NMUed, with good effects on the quality of the distribution.
