Looks like that. It has been removed because of this bug:

Well it's quite late now for a package takeover and reintroduction for
etch. When someone has picked up the package and uploaded a fixed version
it should be easy to create a backport for etch. Until that happens you
can of course use the partly broken package from unstable or just compile
from source.
