This doesn't work like this in Debian: I do not own
the pyopenssl package, so I need to wait until the
pkg-python-modules team does it. I can send a patch
against the package, and if it takes more than a
week or 2 without an upload, then I can NMU (non
maintainer upload) in the delayed queue. But I wont
just fix like that, that would be considered as
rude to not work with current maintainers.

I suppose you (Soren) know already how it works in
Debian, but not everyone might, and I think it is
best to make sure that everyone understand why I'm
not uploading Nova to Debian right now.
