I am impatient too - but trying not to be.

The very best is (maybe) to simply wait some more.

The (second-?)best is to send an email to ftpmaster@??? and ask
them nicely(!) why they are taking so long to review this package.

It might make sense to put debian-devel@??? as cc on such
an email, to keep such dialogue public.

Generally, it is better to talk in public about things like this than to
discuss discretely like you do here. So perhaps the very first thing to
do is to re-post this email to the bitcoin list so as to elevate this
dialogue to a public space - then if you or me or someone else decides
to take it to ftpmasters and/or debian-devel@ this prior dialogue can be
used as reference.
