Important notice: Brion totally rocks.
Images can now be undeleted...Yes, I said undeleted.
I'll be leading group worship at the Church of the Almighty Brion at 7PM UTC tomorrow.

Sounds nice. But how and where? I am now at http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Upload&wpDestFile=Ca... through a red link, a deleted image, but possibly have no button for undeleting.

Images deleted in the past cannot be restored; they were lost at the time they were deleted. From now on, any image that is deleted will be saved so that it can be restored. So, if you delete an image right now, it can be restored at any point in the future, just like any other page. It works through the regular undeletion interface.
Sorry if I wasn't clear, I was excited. :D

Undeletion links are provided on the description page if the page is altogether missing, and on the history tab if it has any deleted history.
This image was deleted several weeks ago so it's not archived. Thus you can undelete the description page text, but not the image.

Now I've gotten "View or restore 2 deleted edits?", editing Image:Ceiling cat 00.jpg on meta. As Brion indicated.
Brion. You are rock.
Essjay, don't mind. Mea culpa. I was just excited too.
