Correct me if I'm wrong, but you are listed on the LowNMU page [1] which states:

If I see a maintainer on this list with the statement "all packages", I assume
they mean it that way. If you prefer to be contacted beforehands, please put
a comment on that page explicitly stating that.

Besides, it's not really acceptable to have a package in an FTBFS on release
architectures for such a long time, really.

Thanks,
Adrian
