Fully agreed. An additional way I could think of, in cooperation with the maintainer, would be to leave it as is until the next release and remove it afterwards - so once he did the next correct release we could eventually consider removing the current version if he agrees. But since it's not a vital thing that needs removal of the current package maybe it should simply stay as is - it would quite soon be forgotten that there ever was such a release when new versions are out.
