I maybe wrong but I was wondering if this is correct. Section 5.12 in Debian's Developers Reference [1] clearly says: Note that the process is only intended for actively taking over maintainership. Do not start a package salvaging process when you do not intend to maintain the package for a prolonged time. If you only want to fix certain things, but not take over the package, you must use the NMU process, even if the package would be eligible for salvaging. And, in this case you salavaged the package with the intention to orphan it not to maintain it.
