I am not sure debian-user is the appropriate place for such a call for
help...

What do you mean by "messages in the packaging"?

As far as other mailing lists are concerned, I tried to see if other
debian-legal participants could join me in this persuasion effort, but
I unfortunately received no reply:
https://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2009/10/msg00000.html
https://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2010/02/msg00007.html
https://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2010/02/msg00023.html

Maybe debian-science could be another appropriate mailing list, but I
suspect that a good number of its participants are already aware of the
issue, due to the various bug reports filed against packages maintained
by the Debian Science team: #617613, #617931, and #618968 (that is to
say, this one).

I am trying hard to avoid this, but I am failing to get help from other
people...  That's really frustrating!   :-(
