It seems so to me.

Well, the current situation is especially delicate. The short answer
is: Your package will be automatically picked-up again if the
buildd-admin does his job right. (The longer answer is that XFree
4.3.0 was unaccepted today, so that your dependencies are not broken
anyways. In the other case I'd have advised you a rebuild-only upload
so that the packages are build on all architectures against the same
X-version.)
