It made it into testing because there weren't any release critical bugs against it. This probably means either: (a) it didn't cause any security problems or data loss, and doesn't break the whole system or (b) nobody who knew about any of the above problems bothered to file a bug of the appropriate severity If, as the maintainer of a package, you don't think it's suitable for widescale consumption, it's appropriate to file a "serious" bug against that package yourself: that way it'll both be ignored by testing, or it'll get removed before the release if it's already made it in.
