It's frozen because all packages which build udebs are perpetually "frozen"
(requiring hand-approval by the release team).

It's not possible to remove individual binaries from testing directly. Nor
would it be appropriate, when the binary would just be introduced by any
rebuilds (such as for a security update).
As for letting it in, I'm cc:ing the d-i RM for approval.

These removals are handled periodically by the ftp team; I've hinted that
this might be a good one to process sooner rather than later.
