Theree was one RC bug that was fixed four weeks ago, but the package is
still hinted for removal.
It might be removed from testing any day without this being the fault of
the package.

BTW:
I said in a PM before you sent the current release schedule:
<-- snip -->
One small addition for your release schedule:
Before Beta 5:
Handle not-fulfillable dependencies for contrib and non-free packages in
the testing scripts.
<-- snip -->
Since I didn't got an answer:
Is a proper handling of non-fulfilled dependencies and not rebuilt
non-free and contrib packages in the testing scripts expected until this
date, or is it wanted that the testing scripts effectively cause a half
removal of contrib and non-free from Debian 3.1?
