It's marked as Orphaned in upstream u-boot for 3 months, and failed to build from source whenever it was I disabled it. With nobody working to fix it upstream, I dropped it from the Debian u-boot package. You'll can probably continue to use it with an old u-boot version. It might continue to work with the buster kernels... I would strongly recommend testing it and reporting and fixing bugs sooner than later if you want to make sure it continues to be supported. Sheevaplug continues to build and is listed as Maintained in upstream u-boot, but it's an old enough platform that I'd recommend testing it for those who want to ensure continued support... live well, vagrant
