I will continue to maintain my fork, as I don't want this situation to repeat in the future.
That doesn't make much sense to me, though. You've got what you wanted: the patch you needed has been applied!
Not quite. What I want is that this situation (package remaining uninstallable for a non-trivial amount of time) never happens again. I don't want to go through this process next time something breaks in 'temporary'.
