It _was_ unblocked automatically.  The excuses from the evening britney
run on July 20th (fairly arbitrarily chosen from the period in which
automatic unblocks were in force) show:

<li><a id="rhnsd" name="rhnsd">rhnsd</a> (- to 4.9.15-1)
<ul>
<li>Maintainer: Miroslav Suchý 
<li>23 days old (needed 10 days)
<li>Ignoring block request by freeze, due to unblock request by freeze-exception
<li>Valid candidate

(Leaving aside arguments as to whether we should be introducing new
packages now, ) an unblock wouldn't help.  There may not have been any
bugs filed against the package but it /is/ buggy, which is why it failed
to migrate during the month that it had an automatic exception:

$ edos-debcheck -explain -checkonly rhnsd < unstable/Packages_kfreebsd-amd64
rhnsd (= 4.9.15-1): FAILED
  rhnsd (= 4.9.15-1) depends on one of:
  - rhn-client-tools (= 1.8.9-1)
  rhn-client-tools (= 1.8.9-1) depends on missing:
  - python-ethtool

python-ethtool |    0.7-1.1 |       testing | source, amd64, armel, armhf, i386, ia64, mips, mipsel, powerpc, s390, s390x, sparc
python-ethtool |    0.7-1.1 |      unstable | source, amd64, armel, armhf, i386, ia64, mips, mipsel, powerpc, s390, s390x, sparc
