I can't find Hamster in the repositories for 18.04. Has this package been renamed?

Seems like hamster-applet got removed from the universe repository starting with Ubuntu 18.04:
Ubuntu packages search results
This is probably related to their recent effort to completely refactor the application. You'll be able to find more info about their development status on the project homepages:
- https://wiki.gnome.org/action/show/Projects/ProjectHamster
- http://projecthamster.org/
- https://github.com/projecthamster
The GitHub repositories above should also contain downloadable packages or at least instructions on how to get and install the application, for both the original project and the rewrite.
Update: If you examine the search link above now, it looks like starting with Groovy (20.10), there is a hamster-applet package again, but it is only transitional and all it does is to install the new hamster-time-tracker package instead, which seems to be the same thing, just named differently? At least it's based on the same source.
