No longer supported upstream.  No volunteers have stepped forward to maintain 
it.  Debian is a volunteer organization, so usually the reason something is 
"missing" is that no volunteer labor is available.

There are also some minimal quality standards.  There might have been a 
volunteer, but their work was below those standards either due to lack of time 
or skill.
