fusecompress missing from Precise

[PhracturedBlue]

On upgrading from lLucid to Precise, I found that fusecompress is missing. This is a problem because I have filesystems that use it.
I didn't find any notice about it being removed, and it appears that 2.6.git913897f4-1ubuntu2 was supposed to be uploaded to Precise, but it isn't in my repository.

If there is a reason that fusecompress was removed from Precise can you please provide it?

Just an update:
I found that the release I mentioned above is not reliable. However, fusecompress 0.9.2 from:
http://code.google.com/p/fusecompress
Is reliable, and is actively maintained.
It does, however require a different set of mount options, so is not drop-in compatible with the prior release.

Additionally, I've found that debian removed fusecompress due to open bugs, and lack of upstream response. I believe they were also using the 'new' fusecompress which seems to have disappeared.

I would suggest providing 0.9.2 as a replacement.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I'm testing fusecompress legacy (https://code.google.com/p/fusecompress/).
after dealing withbuild problems, it works.

it's very slow but reliable (I make huge distant backup using rsync, verifying them with --checksum to test fusecompress reliability).
fusecompress legacy's project seams not to be maintained anymore, no activity since 2012-04.
