True. It existed since uploading 0.3.11-3 of the source package
xmms-crossfade and entered Lenny on 07 Sep 2007[0].

According to the last package maintainer audacious-crossfade is
"impossible to use reliably with audacious 1.5", so he requested it's
removal[1] which actually happened on 12/13 May 2008. Thus, after all,
audacious-crossfade was never part of a stable Debian release.
I don't know what other distributions did to include this plugin. If
they found a way and somebody transfers their solution to Debian the
package might actually get resurrected. (NB: No, most probably I won't
be available to sponsor this, even though I have once maintained that
package myself.)
Cheers,
Flo
