Upstream now has created a new tarball that includes the missing source
code.
This addresses the bug.
It took quite a while to be able to get things work out well, upstream, but
anyway, it's done now.
That tarball was used to create a new package for Debian.
Then the upload was done.
Likely things will be moving fast now, and hopefully this fixes the issue
completely.

I agree with your approach.  Including the source now to address the bug
and ensure that package is not removed is something that should be done
soon.  The introduction of the new package could also be pursued in
parallel and once it is accepted into the archive, then bibledit could
be updated to depend on the package and remove the duplicate components.
