This isn't the first time Adrian is working this way.
I've seen this multiple times the past month.

And always the excuse was "package x is in a transition". We are still 
just after the release of a new stable release, so I've really some 
difficulties to see some collaborative work and good intentions behind 
these nearly 0-day NMUs. There is no specific pressure at the moment to 
whatever transition done in the next 4 weeks.

I loose quickly the interested now to even look at such NMUs as the 
speed these are done sets me under pressure (and isn't really helping me 
as Jonathon also stated) as I'm working still on a voluntarily base for 
Debian.
So I decided to given up packages Adrian is "contributing" something too 
or will cancel such NMUs without further information.

We still have well established processes for bug and FTBFS fixing and 
NMUs as well and I can't see why such NMUs are an exception from these 
workflows.
