It is, starting from wheezy :
$ rmadison zsnes
zsnes | 1.420-2.1 | etch | source, i386
zsnes | 1.510-2.2 | lenny | source, i386
zsnes | 1.510-2.2 | squeeze | source
zsnes | 1.510-2.2+b1 | squeeze | i386
zsnes | 1.510+bz2-1 | wheezy | source, amd64, i386
zsnes | 1.510+bz2-1 | sid | source, amd64, i386
