At the time of removal the 'jessie' tag had not been added, and there was
also a second RC bug. The removal message does actually include such
information:

| Date: Tue, 11 Aug 2015 16:39:11 +0000
| To: <s3ql@packages.debian.org>
| From: Debian testing watch <noreply@release.debian.org>
| Subject: s3ql REMOVED from testing
| 
| FYI: The status of the s3ql source package
| in Debian's testing distribution has changed.
| 
|   Previous version: 2.13+dfsg-1
|   Current version:  (not in testing)
|   Hint: <http://release.debian.org/britney/hints/auto-removals>
|     # 790525,792685

s3ql will not return to Stretch as long as it doesn't build properly, so
that's what you should fix.

That's why I said 'sid'.
