Although I have not been asked directly, I feel free to respond.

IMHO these two points are perfectly reasonable and appreciated.

But I still fail to understand this point. If for example a package 
using short-form dh7 in debian/rules needs a patch to the source or is 
missing a file reference in debian/foo.install, what keeps you from 
contributing?

This is again reasonable and appreciated, but IMHO still contradictory 
to your previous point.
