The package was removed in Debian because it was orphaned by its' maintainer, and suffered from "release critical" bugs. See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=496665 for details. If you or somebody else steps up to maintain the package in Debian, it'll be eligible for import into Ubuntu. -- ╒═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ │Luke Faraone ╭Debian / Ubuntu Developer╮│ │http://luke.faraone.cc ╰Sugar Labs, Systems Admin╯│ │PGP: 5189 2A7D 16D0 49BB 046B DC77 9732 5DD8 F9FD D506 │ ╘═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛
