Package marked for autoremoval due to closed bug?

[Steven Robbins <steve@sumost.ca>]

According to the "action needed" section for nifticlib [1], it is:

Marked for autoremoval on 31 March: #1063178

But that bug is fixed for the version in unstable.  
Why does that cause the package to be removed?

Thanks,
