I intend to do my best . But other people (the reviewers) are also involved.

So as a first step you can start with my proposed srpm's:
 * Check/build them yourselves. Report problems/deficiencies.
 * See if they are OK for your use case.
 * As a bonus, if you find why '%check' in po-debconf failes -- even better.

Here is the checklist:
 - po-debconf almost OK, waiting for cwickert comments (reviewer)
 - dpkg upgrade, waiting for maintainer, he would try to finish it this weekend
 - debhelper, ready (IMO), reviewer is silent for ages -- can you take it?
   how?
 - pbuilder, working package, need cleanup (me), after the 3 pre-requisites
   are ready it would be justified to bother the reviewer.
