I believe there are good chances that this kind of people realize that there's a problem at some point, if they're particularly interested in this package: either they're directly affected by the RC bugs affecting this package (it was removed for a reason, uh), or they'll miss some new feature implemented in a newer upstream version and will wonder why it's not in testing yet, or they'll suffer from some other bug and will have a look at the PTS. In all of this cases, "$PACKAGE is not in testing anymore" is likely to be a stronger "help is needed" signal for them than the mere presence of RC bugs.
