Probably an unpopular opinion, but:

If users experiencing issues with the ambee library in this package, they will knock on my door. And I’m not willing to support that or accept that burden. Especially as I don’t see a good repacking reason in this case.

As a developer, this seems like a reasonable argument to me.

Also, I see from a comment you made recently that you seem to be involved with NixOS:

There’s always Nix but the dev behind HA has a personal vendetta against Nix people building his software (for some ridiculously stupid reason…he doesn’t understand the tech!). We packaged home assistant in nixpkgs anyway because we don’t negotiate with terrorists.

Calling him a terrorist is rather melodramatic. And I think further enforces his point, that your actions are creating unnecessary problems for others, and you simply don’t care.
