Hey, I'm the Debian maintainer for lurker. Lurker had been removed from ubuntu in 2008/2009 due to missing dependencies. I guess that this was a temporary issue. Libmimelib1, the dependency in question, has been in Ubuntu for a long time. During the migration from kde3 to kde4, libmimelib1 was split into an own source package in Debian, and I guess that this source package wasn't merged to ubuntu in time. Now that it's available again in Ubuntu for years, I don't see a reason why the lurker package should be merged back into ubuntu as well.
Just for your interest, I got a request for help with lurker on a Ubuntu Server which hosts lots of mailinglists recently. In other words, there are Ubuntu users with interest in Ubuntu lurker packages. Thanks in advance.
