Sure.  I know this and I just have sent two mails to debian-mips list
that I will ask for removal of there will be no progress (even before
you sent the bug ;-)).

Since I uploaded a fix for the said bug before I closed this one and now also
asked for unblock I think it now only depends from debian-mips people how
honest they are about their port.  I'll ask ftpmaster for removal from mips
three days before the migration period ends.

Thanks for your attention anyway
