Well, the point is that I thought about doing an NMU. However, I don't feel like digging into the problem if the package was removed for an unrelated reason which I cannot change (like dead upstream, better replacement available).
Err, those are reasons to remove the package from /unstable/, not from testing. Packages get removed from testing when they have RC bugs, and that's pretty much it. I don't believe any package has ever been removed from testing because there's a "better replacement" or "dead upstream" without it either also having some RC bugs, or having already been removed from unstable...
