I brought up the issue as soon as I saw it back in the archive and basically the main reason it was dropped from Ubuntu was lack of support upstream [1]. 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.
