Yes.  Problem is there is no maintainer for the driver.  There used to
be one, but the email address started bouncing.  So we updated
Maintainers.txt and flipped the switch to not build the unmaintained
drivers by default.

If debian is fine with shipping unmaintained software to its users you
can flip the config switches of course, at least as long as the drivers
are still in the tree.  The drivers are at risk of being removed though
in case we don't find a new maintainer within a year or two.

take care,
  Gerd
