I agree it might have been nice to have a maintenance release, but  
the problem apparently doesn't affect anybody but Debian. They're  
allowed to (and are capable enough to) apply patches to fix debian  
packaging issues in upstream source. So saying that twisted *has* to  
have a release that fixes it before debian can is a bit wrong.

But a 2.5 release is coming soon now, so, it'll be fixed then.
