I think #613892 has a patch to do the --help compatibility thing, and
that plus the change to Recommends seems to me like it ought to be
uploaded ?
You could combine those changes into a single patch, send it to
613892, and tag the bugs "patch". That would increase the chances of
it appearing in the next upload.
If the maintainer is overworked, perhaps they would appreciate an NMU.
I haven't looked through the src:git bug list but perhaps there are
other bugs with patches that could be applied. I will leave
negotiating about that with the maintainer to you.
Regards,
Ian.
