Moved heap data principle: if a variable x moves ownership of heap data to another variable y, then x cannot be used after the move.
Box deallocation principle (fully correct): If a variable owns a box, when Rust deallocates the variable's frame, then Rust deallocates the box's heap memory.
The moved heap data principle emphasizes the fact that we cannot use a variable that was moved.
The box deallocation principle emphasizes that a variable's heap memory gets deallocated if the variable owned the box (pointing to the heap memory).
The context of this paragraph is in line with the Box Deallocation Principle.
