While in good faith, I am not sure what you are implying with the above: 
In an ideal World (where crystal balls or time machines exist), yes.

Both filing this bugreport and the upstream statement triggering it 
occured _after_ the release of Buster, indicating lack of knowledge on 
the matter at the time of release of Buster (or, in bad faith, that it 
was known but kept secret - sure you cannot mean that).

Yes, removal from Buster should be done.

Sorry, I am not familiar with the procedures to do that, and appreciate 
your suggestion: Do I simply file a bugreport against ftp.debian.org as 
with removals from unstable/experimental, or which different runes 
should I throw?

Kind regards,
