Right, it's not in Debian. If it were, then you could easily use it
with the Additional Software Packages feature.

Right, they offer third-party packages for Debian. For many reasons we
pull packages from Debian, not from upstream third-party
APT repositories.

Still, if you are fine with trusting and using these third-party
packages, then the "Configuring additional APT repositories" section
on https://tails.boum.org/doc/advanced_topics/additional_software/
might fit your needs :)

Cheers,
