In general, a simple requeue of 'scripts/bin/requeue-package <packagename>'.
For the various packages that seem to have been forcibly requeued, the tags
on the branches have been moved but the database has not been updated; so
simply deleting the revid from the database and requeuing is sufficient to
get the database synced with the branch. (It's certainly not worth trying
to undo the changes on the branch, IMHO.)
