Are you sure it's not available?

$ rmadison awesome
   awesome |    2.3.3-1 |        stable | source, alpha, amd64, arm, armel, hppa, i386, ia64, mips, mipsel, powerpc, s390, sparc
   awesome |    3.2.1-1 |       testing | source, alpha, amd64, armel, hppa, i386, ia64, mips, mipsel, powerpc, s390, sparc
   awesome |    3.3.1-1 |      unstable | source, alpha, amd64, armel, hppa, hurd-i386, i386, ia64, mips, mipsel, powerpc, s390, sparc
