A promise from the maintainer "I will fix it when it's needed" is not enough.

That's the philosophy which made Debian stable, buildable at 100% at release time,
to be buildable at decreasing rates over the time in the past. We promise our
users that they will be able to build Debian stable for the entire lifetime of stable.

This initiative exists precisely to avoid that and has the OK from Release Managers.

Thanks.
