It was removed some time ago because its licence doesn't allow us to distribute binaries built from modified source. The xv package involved modifications to the source (presumably to fit Debian policy or to fix bugs), so the package had to be withdrawn. See <http://bugs.debian.org/96458> (ignoring the spat about packaging formats) and <http://bugs.debian.org/98215>.
