Uhmmm, sorry for the confusion.  I never realised that it was removed.
(I think I even somehow ignored one of your hints about this fact in the
past because I was somehow sure that it was in ...)

I can only tell for sure that sitplus was in testing at the point of
creation of the Debian Med metapackages because it is recommended in
med-rehabilitation.  This was in April and we did not recieved any RC
bug against sitplus so I did not checked - perhaps it was just removed
because of the missing Dependency.

BTW, I did not recieved any response to my "Blends metapackages upload
*after* freeze" mail[1].  The Recommends in med-rehabilitation would be
fixed by a new upload - but in principle it would be prefered to have
sitplus inside wheezy if possible.

See

  http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=debian-med/sitplus.git;a=blob;f=debian/control

It lists libpoco-dev as Build-Depends and #680798 is exactly about the
lack of the required Build-Depends.

Kind regards

       Andreas.
