But I don't have the time to do this and so I asked kindly, why there
isn't a cleanfeed package.

I'm patient and I was only asking, because I saw that there are many
packages, that will be created but cleanfeed wasn't one of it. So I'm
asking if there are special reasons or if nobody hasn't thought about
this. It's no problem for me, that cleanfeed it's not available as a
debian package, but I thought, that it could be a good idea to have it
packaged.
