Because it is an optional component.  Some
package management systems, or packagers,
will suggest or recommend installing xmltv as
part of the installation, but there are some
people for which the EIT guide data from the
video source capture are sufficient, and do
not wish to have xmltv.

Unless you copied the grabber configuration
from your previous system you will likely need
to run the grabber configure steps to recreate
the information needed to actually obtain data.
Just refer to your notes when you previously
installed.
