For completeness and as a way to acknowledge the effort, waldi had another stab at it in the last couple of weeks: https://salsa.debian.org/ftp-team/dak/merge_requests/81 In summary, even if as of today the problem is not yet solved, I think that it's fair to say that there were many pushes to move it forward from different fronts -- there were several attempts to address the problem by different people at different times and in different ways; including dak/archive and DSA, dpkg, and release team with stable-updates.
