You seem to have figured this out, but FTR:
* Remove [1] or re-upload [2] the package with test: added to hints
* Upload an override.hint with replace-versions: [3]

Note that due to the way the depsolver works, replace-versions: doesn't 
do anything if the package would still be chosen to install.

(calm tries to warn about that, but it seems you've tripped over a bug 
where it doesn't take test: into consideration and warns when it shouldn't)

[2] Re-uploading a package with the same (or missing!) archives, but 
modified hints is currently allowed for historical reasons
