Your opinion, I even don't know what a kludge is.

This is not an "invention" of me, many sysadmins are using this. See:
https://wiki.debian.org/MultimediaCodecs#deb-multimedia.org

See my response there.

That's right. But in Debian we have FTP-masters and many people who are
looking when a package is in sid and in testing. Mass-rebuilds and
automated checks. The maintainer of deb-multimedia does that all by it's
own. He will make a mistake, that's murphy's law.

You have to do check that regulary when you care.
