Since there is a transition freeze effective from 2016-11-05 [1], this should IMO be addressed ASAP. For the packages under Debian Astro maintenance, I could offer help here. Could you specify where you expect the complications? BTW, I would recommend to put cfitsio under Debian Astro team maintenance, due to the importance of the package. Would you be willing to do that?
