if the package is broken, then file a bug. That's a completely different
case.

That's a strong assertion. I hope that you know that a non-existance is not
getting proved by claiming "I think there is none". But again, if you don't
like the package, file a bug with the explanation why you think it should be
removed.

If you need to update the dendency, then update the dependency and report
a bug against the then broken package. See openssl package for an example.

All I want to say that these issues should be handled case by case. There
should be a reason for each of them and the bug report should be tailored to
that case. But pushing the work of a responsible bug report from the reporter
to the assignee is wrong.
