I was the creator an maintainer of the previous cluebringer packages in
Debian. The packages got pulled for a number of reasons:
1) Issues with the package sponsor - who pulled a heap of my packaging 
   work out because he didn't understand it, and also made himself a
   maintainer (words were had officially about it).
2) I have severe ongoing health issues that meant I couldn't give it 
   the time and attention it needed.
3) I felt some of the demands coming from other DD's were unwarranted 
   given the things other DD/DM/teams deal with packaging.

It is my intention to update my packages when I have the time, however I
doubt I will go looking for another sponsor to put the packages back
into the mainline repositories. In any case it's too late for things to
go into the main repositories for Jessie, I'm pretty sure the rules
don't even allow for new packages to be added in the point releases.
