In order to have amsn in precise and quantal you need to ask for inclusion in debian first.

After a sync can be made from debian to ubuntu.

Amsn has been removed since some CVE [1] weren't fixed and it was lack of upstream support for this.

This week I've read on the amsn offical mailing list [2] that those CVE and other bugs are been fixed upstream.

So I personally think that debian should reconsider packaging it and ubuntu syncing it.

In the meanwhile you can install it from my ppa [3], but I have to say I really don't know the status of the fixes in my ppa, since it is a sync from oneiric and build for precise with no modifications at all.
