The package is available in the universe component.
Rationale:
This package is a Build-Dependency for libcolumbus, which is a build-dependency for the Unity HUD.

There are no outstanding security issues, or entries in Secunia, CVE, or the Ubuntu CVE tracker.
There are no setuid binaries, executables, or daemons installed by the package.
Quality assurance:
The package does not ask debconf questions.
There are no long-term outstanding bugs which affect the usability of the program to a major degree.
The package is maintained well in Ubuntu and Debian.
The package doesn't appear to have a test suite.
UI standards:
Not applicable.
Dependencies:
All build and binary dependencies are satisfiable in main.
Standards compliance:
Package meets requirements.
Maintenance:
Package meets requirements.
Background information:
The Google SparseHash project contains several C++ template hash-map
implementations in use at Google, with different performance
characteristics, including an implementation that optimizes for space
and one that optimizes for speed.
Used by libcolumbus as database engine for its implementation of a unclean data search engine.
-No delta.
-Has a subscriber, but maybe could use a team one?
-Packaging is OK; uses debhelper but not dh7
-One iffy thing is that it hasn't been updated in Debian for a while, despite some upstream releases. But those releases don't have critical fixes and there aren't any bugs in either Debian or Ubuntu, so... it seems to not be an issue.
-Has tests but they weren't being run. I updated the package to run them, will send to Debian too.
So approved.
