In case you weren't aware, there are some extra steps when
reintroducing packages:
https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/pkgs.html#reintroducing-pkgs
Principally this is about reopening bugs closed by the removal and
then triaging them and closing any fixed in the new version.
https://www.debian.org/Bugs/Developer#closing
Last time I needed to do this, I ran this hacky shell one-liner:
bts $(for bug in $(curl
'https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?archive=both;src=colortest-python'
| pandoc -f html -t plain --wrap none | grep -B1 -F +rm | grep -o
\#[0-9]\\+ | tr -d \#) ; do echo -n "unarchive $bug , reopen $bug , ";
done)
For your package it gives this command:
bts unarchive 753281 , reopen 753281 , unarchive 936320 , reopen
936320 , unarchive 782208 , reopen 782208 , unarchive 890074 , reopen
890074 ,
