It does happen that bugs stay in the Debian BTS for years without any reaction from the Debian package maintainer. Within the limited time available for Debian some might chose to work on the package instead of replying to bugs. As a user there are some things you can do, e.g. bug triage. First, try to reproduce the bugs on your system (which it seems you already did) and post a follow-up to the bug with your findings. Then you can try to determine whether the bug is already known (and maybe even fixed in a newer release) upstream[1], or if the bug is only relevant for Debian (and there is nothing for upstream to fix). Depending on that you can update the meta-data for the Debian bug to point to the upstream bug (report one if not there already), or try to come up with a fix (even better, a patch), as applicable.
