It's still in unstable/net. I haven't read up on this one but
there are several packages that have been removed from frozen
(and more threatened with removal) because of release critical
bugs that weren't being looked at. I guess the release manager
has few weapons at his disposal to try and get some action.
It's too bad that it's called unstable -- maybe development or
something similar would be better. I've found unstable to be
very solid, at least if you wait a few days after major/critical
packages have been added to the distro.
