I find the back-and-forth or the "edit war" most disturbing. Okay, so the package got removed and re-introduced, and removed and re-introduced... Please stop canceling each other's actions if possible, just listen and agree to a solution first. Putting a broken package back into tree is not solving anything IMO. Just note I understand possible frustrations if (I haven't verified things) the removal process was not followed correctly. But whatever the circumstances, I don't think keeping re-adding the package is the right solution. In fact, it seems it would be best to let you guys talk on irc and agree on some solution. Finally, forcing downgrades _is_ broken (are you using stable?). If that's not clear, I'm totally for putting it in the devmanual/quiz or some other place like that.
