>From last line of https://release.debian.org/stretch/freeze_policy.html: "After 5th January 2017, removed packages will NOT be permitted to re-enter testing." So you may be out of luck, sorry. One thing that puzzles me though is that the bug was opened at: "Thu, 23 Mar 2017 02:17:28 +0100" and the package was auto removed "Thu, 23 Mar 2017 16:39:09 +0000" https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=858521 https://packages.qa.debian.org/d/diaspora-installer/news/20170323T163909Z.html I thought normally more time was allowed. Is this because the bug was critical? If so, are the times before autoremoval documented anywhere? I asked Google, but Google said "10 days" which may not be up-to-date information: https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2013/09/msg00006.html
