Because the autobuilder only uploads (perhaps past tense?) to unstable,
even if the changelog says "frozen unstable". See the thread in
debian-alpha: "Autobuilder status".
I caught an even bigger s__tload of packages built by the autobuilder on
Thursday, copied it all, changed "unstable" to "frozen", resigned the
changes, and installed it yesterday (not how my diff got smaller today
:-)
Quick fix for your problem: edit the changes to remove "unstable",
and resign them. I did that a couple of times the last couple of weeks
for packages that had the same problem.
I'm thinking of digging the autobuilder's changes out of Incoming/DONE,
fiding the packages in woody, and "uploading" those again for frozen.
