That seems like a fail of the maintainer. The package contained a release
critical bug and therefore got removed from testing and the maintainer missed
to get it readded. I'll talk to the release team and see what I can do.

The update came to late, I'm sorry. I hoped for 3.2.2, but unfortunatly it
came to late, so I didn't hurried up to get it into unstable for now.

Hm, thats the same maintainer as for the ndoutils. I'm pretty sure its to
late for an update, but I'll keep an eye on it for the next release. 

For most nagios(-related) components we include them also on
backports.debian.org, so if you provide any docs with recommendations for
debian distributions you should add a hint to look on backports.debian.org
for updates nagios stuff. 

Thanks for the hint
