I don't see it as mandatory, but if I was the maintainer of this development package I would do as the developer says and request package deletion.

I, on the other hand, wouldn't. The entire point of -<vcs> packages is to run the incomplete development code, anyone that's running it should understand that it's incomplete and potentially unstable.

I don't see how that justifies explicitely going the wishes of upstream. If the author doesn't want feedback on his development code, that's his choice and it's not our place to motivate him otherwise by keeping this package. Alad
