Usually the cause for such sudden removals lies in license problems. In this case, there are no license information at all in the files uploaded to CTAN (http://ctan.org/pkg/tree-dvips), thus the package has to be classified as non-free. If you think the package should stay, I suggest asking the author whether she is willing to put the package under a free license.
