I'm even wondering if it wouldn't be better to merge from unstable rather than testing as there are lots of other fixes available, such as some mentioned in bug 317721 (although not for debfoster).

Please provide a debdiff between Debian and Ubuntu (for merges). Then resubscribe ubuntu-universe-sponsors.

uploaded. Thanks for your work!

This bug was fixed in the package piuparts - 0.38ubuntu1

---------------
piuparts (0.38ubuntu1) lucid; urgency=low

  * Merge from debian testing, remaining changes: (LP: #502651)
    - Build for Python 2.6 too, no longer do it for 2.4, unsupported.
    - In Ubuntu, debfoster tries to remove packages with priority required
      even if MaxPriority=required is used. Setting MaxPriority to important
      reduces the number of packages to be removed as well as false positives
      generated by unwanted package removals. This can be dropped if a
      proper fix for debfoster is found.
    - dropped changes:
      + Set default Ubuntu distribution to lucid (applied upstream)
