This is incredibly legitimate reason. Could these repacking be replaced with some type of just proxy/clone that is still the original source?

NixOS doesn’t work like that apparently. The point is to be reproducible.

Honestly sounds like they just cannot have his project or anything that depends on it.

Luckily that ambee code looks trivial to duplicate.

the author of the lib pushed the code by a PR to Home Assistant, a project that is packaged by multiple distribution, including ubuntu, fedora, arch and more, all of which will repackage the library. The author should ask for removal from HA, not going to all packager for all distro requiring to be removed

The author is a core contributor of HA, so he will have a strong opinion about removing his own package I think.
