  http://lists.debian.org/debian-release/2004/debian-release-200403/msg00019.html

To be more exact, update_excuses.html says:

  -sleuthkit (1.61-4 to -)
      Removal request by cjwatson
      Package is broken, will try to remove
  sleuthkit (1.61-4 to 1.68-2)
      Maintainer: Mattia Monga
      25 days old (needed 10 days)
      Removal request by cjwatson
      Trying to remove package, not update it
      out of date on mips: sleuthkit (from 1.61-4)
      out of date on mipsel: sleuthkit (from 1.61-4)
      Not considered

If the mips and mipsel builds are added then I'll gladly let the fixed
version in.

BTW, the name of the person filing the removal request is there so that
you can ask them about it if you disagree.
