We did major efforts to clear the license situation of JOSM some time ago 
and also did other requested changes. But what you request has NOTHING to 
do with the Debian ideals. You can simply request code changes and when 
your get told that this is nonsense answer with "well, but you don't care 
for Debian ideals".

You already know it, so why file a report and then I remember that I tried 
once and then gave up, so I don't try that again.
