It is not acceptable either that patches take so long to get uploaded
in the main archive.  Not using debian-ports would make a new port
completely impossible. kfreebsd also did that. That's the only way to go
forward, otherwise there is always something broken that prevents from
actually making progress.

Obviously.

Sure.
