I don't think debian has PR, however I think debian can choose how to handle a migration in a way where it's not harmful to audacious as upstream from debian. > In general, bug reports should be filed against the Debian package. > The Debian maintainer is more than capable of discerning whether the > bug is due to a custom modification present in Debian only, or whether > it exists upstream, and forwarding the bug appropriately. > So then you are saying we should reject all bugs against audacious as provided by debian which do not refer to a debian bugtracker URL anyway?

I do indeed trust his judgement, but if he decides to orphan the package, then we have a problem. If he is put in a position where there are 11000 xmms users left without a package taking their angst out on him, he may not feel like maintaining the package anymore. That's human nature, you know.
