Probably because it had a critical bug that did get fixed in time for
the Bookworm release so it was removed from Bookworm. It probably was
ever removed from sid, just Bookworm when it was 'testing'.

It's not been put back again, it's still not in 'testing' because it's
been broken for nearly a year. The package tracker shows it's history,
looks like one of the libraries it depends on isn't present in the
correct version.
