It was never not available in Sid. This normal for packages, they are normally only removed from Testing. > That package in unstable is binary identical with the one in oldstable > (stretch).

So I guess there will come a time where it is also removed from Sid as well because of severe bit-rot. Grüße, Sven. -- Sigmentation fault. Core dumped.
