It was dropped from Debian because it was unbuildable [0]. Debian seems to be supporting it again and building it with gcc-4.1, so it was put back in.

Hi Lionel (2010.08.15_17:48:56_+0200) > AFAIK (and according to LP), it wasn't autosynced but instead > reintroduced manually by a developer using syncpackage I sponsored that (using syncpackage). And yes it had to go through NEW again. Was there someone else I should have asked? > I wasn't really happy about libstdc++ returning to maverick I've had users on my back about the removal of libstdc++5, so when I saw this (and it didn't look too evil) I sponsored it. We don't poorly packaged proprietary software, but our users still want to run it...

Hello, Benjamin Drung [2010-08-14 20:51 +0200]: > I am asking this question, because libstdc++5 was removed from karmic > and it was recently reintroduces in maverick. I wasn't really happy about libstdc++ returning to maverick, but it kind of "just happened" through autosyncs. -backports sounds fine for this IMHO.
