I asked about this earlier on IRC and I was told that if a package had
been in testing and got removed due to a RC bug, it would be accepted
back again provided the fix followed the normal freeze policy, and the
same for the other one that got transitively removed:

@1416741742 <marga> So, if a package was removed already from testing
due to FTBFS, and now dependencies are failing because of that, is it
worth fixing it? Will it be accepted back?
@1416741863 <nthykier> marga: Sounds reasonable at first glance, but
it assumes that the changes between "last-version-in-testing" and
upload complies with the freeze policy
