But not in excalibur ... not in Debian's trixie either
Looking at
https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/mlterm it was removed from
testing on 2024-08-10 as per
https://tracker.debian.org/news/1553560/mlterm-removed-from-testing/
and didn't get back into testing until 2025-08-13, missing trixie's
release date :-o
Hope this helps,
