It's not; you want ftp.debian.org, as ftp-master handle unstable.
Re-assigning with this message.

The "how to request removal" section of that wiki page does say "File a
bug against the ftp.debian.org pseudo-package". Unstable is not
explicitly mentioned as an ftp.d.o bug is the default action; the
"testing, stable and oldstable" section exists to document the
exceptions to that.
