Perhaps it should be added to FAQ. Usually the reason why some package
has been removed from Debian repositories may be found at
<https://tracker.debian.org/>.
In this particular case see <https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/anubis>.
The "Removed... from unstable" link leads to
<https://tracker.debian.org/news/579815/removed-411dfsg1-4-from-unstable/>
So it was an action in response to the bug #765517
<https://bugs.debian.org/765517>
"RM: anubis; blocking removal of guile-1.8 (#745989)"
According to dak, anubis is blocking this removal, and the last non-NMU
was in 2009.

The debian/control file in source trees contains package description:
<https://sources.debian.org/src/anubis/4.1.1%2Bdfsg1-3.1/debian/control>
Description: an SMTP message submission daemon
So it is really another project.
P.S. I admit I can not suggest a better approach to protect servers
against aggressive crawlers, but I still do not like this kind of
measures that require JS to be enabled in browsers.
