Packages are added largely at the whim of developers; packages are
removed when no developer is interested in supporting them or when
they're considered too buggy to release. debian-devel is the place to
look (and search the archives first).
What is released with a distribution is up to the release manager, and
is generally determined by removing packages with unfixed
release-critical bugs (where release-critical is Severity: important or
higher).

Probably because no-one has so far been interested in packaging it, or
adding it to an existing package.
