 It's in unstable only due to some nasty 64 bit bugs in the code. The
package maintainer will disable building on 64 bit archs for the time
being. The code for hfsprogs comes directly from apple, but Rogério has
problems getting responses from them - and I have problems to find his
update on mentors to upload it to the pool so it can finally transition
to testing. He's currently not around for a few days, hopefully this
issue can get fixed; and if someone raises their voices we can think of
offering the package through backports.org.

 So long,
