Bug Description

"Bullet is a 3D Collision Detection and Rigid Body Dynamics Library for games."
"Used by several professional game companies in AAA titles on Playstation 3, XBox 360, Wii and PC"
"Fully Open Source, ZLib license (free for commercial use)"
-- http://bulletphysics.org/mediawiki-1.5.8/index.php/Features

It is also used by VDrift, a free racing car simulation. The needed packages are libbullet0 and libbullet-dev. Since Natty and Oneiric do not contain them, the current practice is to use getdeb. Is there any reason not to include Bullet in the repositories?
