It doesn't change the fact that the maintainer still hasn't applied the
bugfix and closed the ticket. I would presume initially that the packages
would be orphaned and then go through the same process as the orphaned
packages allowing others to pick up the maintenance of them just like the
rest of the ophans. I'm quite sick of fixing other people's FTBFS. Between
my work on the ARM secondary Arch and the other stuff I've fixed something
like 6+ FTBFS which have been like that since F-12/13 in the last couple
weeks.
