Bad packages uploaded to stable end up in proposed-updates and (theoretically) get rejected by the release manager when he eventually gets round to making a point release. Bad packages uploaded to unstable get replaced, not removed: after all, people may have update to them, and if the package was bad, they'll need to upgrade, which they'll only do if a package with a later version is uploaded. (Which, it seems, you've done) You're welcome to file a bug (against ftp.debian.org) about the stable upload if you like; prefix it with [POTATO] (or add a "potato" tag) to make sure it's noticed.
