The reason is simple btw, as the package was Essential, nothing had to Depend on it and apparerently nothing did. As it was removed from unstable already, there was no reason to hold it in testing according to britney. So the problem would only be when you don't have mktemp installed you were not able to install it in testing anymore. For the time being mktemp has reentered testing and is blocked from removal.
