In principle yes, but it is not in testing due to issues like [1]. It already had other security issues in the past[2] and upstream seems dead (last commit two years ago). Probably someone would need to write a proper replacement that doesn't have such issues, but there currently seems nobody who is both interested and capable to implement it (as for similar other cases).
