Argh. I was pointed to <[🔎] DF94DFAB-7643-402D-BB01-AEF805A3AED2@debian.org>
[1] by dato, so yeah, it seems I fucked up. Sorry. My initial mail and
last answer were based only on the bug log, which showed no indication
of fix, just fairly weird discussions and a "will fix soon". 

And to clarify the unblock procedure thing: I thought the quoted
sentence to mean "wait until the package migrates, then ask for an
unblock", which is obviously an insane idea. The right procedure is, of
course, to upload a fixed package and ask for a freeze exception
directly afterwards, or in cases of doubt, wait until someone else
verified that the fix works as expected.
