We've always had the rule of thumb that packagers should not vote

One goal of the update acceptance criteria for pre-releases is also that
_anyone_ gets an opportunity to try out a test-update before it is marked
stable.
Anyway, I think I've seen counted "self-votes" also for older dists, but
not
done by many packagers.
What about to counteract "misplaced" karma? Example:
- Bug exists in version X.Y
- Update filed for X.Y+1
- User reports that bug still exists with -1 karma
- Maintainer replies with +1 karma that bug is not expected to be
fixed
