The thing is that it's not *your package*. The maintainer of a package
doesn't have ownership over it, they're just maintaining it. When you
contribute to an open-source project you can't just decide to take
your toys and go home.

There probably is a valid reason to have it removed, but the TU needs
to know that before they delete it.
