Firstly, as it is non-free, it isn't really going "into Debian".
Secondly, if someone wants to package it, and other people use it, why
shouldn't it?
It seems every other semi-controversial ITP gets an obligatory "why
package this when we have X,Y,Z instead?" reply, although seemingly
never from an ftp-master or mirror maintainer or anyone else who is
actually impacted by archive sizes :-(
