I (not the maintainer) have a pending work to NMU this package to include debconf translation updates (which are now widely accepted as NMUable). It would maybe be better to merge both efforts but is a switch to a different packaging style something really wished in an NMU? I think that bringing this in -devel would lead to a quite hit debate...:) I would rather recommend to leave your patch in the BTS, tag it to something like "dpatch-deprecation" or whatever could be comre a release goal for wheezy+1.
