I have not followed the transition myself. But searching through
Debian bugs, I found
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=760986 which says

  Guile 1.8 is no longer maintained upstream, and has not been since 2010.

Distros generally try to avoid packaging stuff that is not actively
maintained upstream.

hope that helps
