The package was dropped from hardy because it was dropped from Debian, and the archive admins routinely remove such packages when they're no longer available in Debian. Per http://people.ubuntu.com/~ubuntu-archive/removals.txt, the removal reason given was:
  (From Debian) RoM ; obsolete, buggy, unmaintained, being abandoned upstream
This does not block readding the package to Ubuntu if these reasons no longer apply.

For that matter, upstream has expressed interest in getting this re-added to Ubuntu as well, so you may wish to consider coordinating to get it re-included there.
