FYI to all, here was Christian's response. Don't have time yet to fully respond, but I think keeping some packages there because they're not uploaded in Debian as quickly is not really a good reason to upload them or keep them uploaded at DMO. He's a DD and he could help to keep these packages updated in Debian instead (though this would mean he would have to work with the team).
