There are two chances to get information about your packages:

  1. Either you subscribe to the very package in your interest at
       http://qa.debian.org/developer.php
  2. or with a rather more team oriented attitude subscribe the
     development mailing list which receives reports about all
     team maintained packages
       http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/debian-med-packaging

I personally would be happy if you would decide for the later because
in addition you get a lot of other information and how people might
deal together with other problems.

In this case would CamITK remain in *main*!  Considering the fact that
you know all these facts - would you volunteer to do the needed steps?

Well, the release team is starting to remove packages with release
critical bugs and they start with those packages where the bugs do not
get any visible attention of the maintainer.  In other words:  If you
want to have CamITK released in Debian Wheezy than some kind of
immediate action is the safest way to ensure this.  If you have any
problem with this please be as verbose as possible how we could help you 
to fix the package.

Kind regards

        Andreas.
