Usually, Free Software ("free" as in sources available,
redistributable, ...) is just placed somewhere, accessible to the
public. If somebody thinks it's useful, they will start packaging it.
(Or alternatively, request to get it packaged in the Debian bug
tracking tool by creating a bug for the virtual package "wnpp"
describing the software.)
Since at least the CAD software should attract people (I don't know
about the financial stuff, that's just not my worl), I guess it would
be packaged quite fast once you start pushing sources to your web
server and announce these.
