A look at <http://packages.qa.debian.org/c/ceph.html> shows that it was part of wheezy but was removed after the freeze: [2012-09-30] ceph REMOVED from testing (Britney) >> If you don't intend to actually maintain ceph, please orphan the >> package.

Packaging efforts that happen entirely outside the unstable/testing distribution like this are pretty much useless for Debian. After all, there are reverse dependencies that would benefit from being able to use some of the provided libraries: The QEMU maintainer, for instance, removed ceph support a year ago because that ceph package was not usable then: qemu (1.1.2+dfsg-1) unstable; urgency=low [...] * do not build-depend on ceph (librbd-dev librados-dev), since ceph is having longstanding issues in wheezy.
