That package is separated out into some section that you don't have in your
sources.list file
For example, I use
deb ftp://ftp.freesoftware.com/.1/linux/debian stable main contrib non-free
... this location is not responding to me right now, so I've commented it out
for now.
Do you have all of the sections "main contrib non-free" for your favorite
site(s)? It might also be in a non-US mirror if it has encryption
capabilities (stupid US encryption laws!).
I have
deb ftp://ftp.ca.debian.org/debian-non-US stable/non-US main contrib non-free
(I'm also using this for the other debian packages by deleteing "non-US"
fromt he above).

That's nothing! If you play it forward, it'll install Windows 2000.
