Not that I've used it, but I thought it had been tripped up some due to
certain core parts being under a BSD license that proves to be not
exactly free, requiring some FreeBSD and GNU porting to fill in for the
difficult parts. That noted, they are looking at being close enough that
talk on the Debian-BSD list is discussing moving the component parts to
packages.debian.org soon. If you want to get a better idea of where it
is, the Debian-BSD list is a low traffic list - maybe five to twenty
messages a week - that would give you a feel for what is happening with
each of the three lines (apparently Debian/OpenBSD might be continuing,
for instance.)
