there is an empty page on the current version of debian maint-guide,

I do not think you need to put squeeze here.

Although this is very vague, I know the situation.
Bug report should describe situation objectively. This helps everyone.
This bug report should have been:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
In the PDF format of maint-guide (both in 1.22-svn and all packaged ones
up to the latest 1.22), there is an empty page inserted if the
end-of-chapter is in odd number page (e.g. P14). Can you consider to
skip stop this behavior to save a tree?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
If the submitter use both-sided-printing, this page formatting is what
you want to ensure easy reading.
In order to change this behaviour, latex code generated from source by
debiandoc-sgml needs to be slightly modified. That require update of
debiandoc-sgml code maintained by me.
Unfortunately, I do not know latex enough to disable this nice even page
start rule for chapter. This means I can not update debiandoc-sgml.
This is wishlist bug which I need moreinfo. Unless someone bothers to
dig this information for me, this can not be fixed. I welcome such
effort.
I will spend more of my effort on converting this maint-guide to modern
DocBook XML format.
Regards,
Osamu
PS: Current breakage of web page build is separate issue. It looks like
backported po4a is needed. I will try to find some work around in the
mean time.
