That isn't right. The freeze date was the 30th of June, while the
package was uploaded by Loic on the 6th of July. See the PTS:
http://packages.qa.debian.org/q/quantum.html
Though your changes were committed to our Git on Alioth before the
freeze (on the 28th of June).

You were right, but the package was uploaded *after* the freeze. Which
is the sole reason why it didn't migrate to Wheezy (well, that, and the
fact you didn't ask for an unblock...).

I do agree that the provides/conflicts/replaces/breaks fixes should be
in Wheezy.

YES! Please do so and deal with the unblock for your changes. :)
It by the way would be nice and save time if the release team was
telling what part of the changes are rejected and for what reason.
