I wouldn't take this as a "no", but as "we won't wait forever for someone to fix this in wheezy, we can release with some upgrade paths being broken". Did anyone try the upgrades that fail with my patch applied how they behave without the patch, i.e. in the current packages? Even if we can't reach a perfect solution (I don't think it is even possible at all with the current set of Provides), we should try to improve the situation a bit.
