Debian generally does not do this sort of thing for commercial software.
What a developer can do if he is inclined to do so is build an installer
package for the archive.
Personally I'm not terribly fond of these installers and would much rather
have Introversion host an aptable archive containing the latest patches to
Uplink. It's generally not difficult to set up such a thing and if you
are interested in doing it I'd be happy to help with setting it up - it's
really not difficult at all.
I'm probably not an ideal person for building the packages as I am
currently on a modem (and miss my broadband greatly!) and don't happen to
have a copy of Uplink yet. Those damned living expenses getting in the
way of the really important things like games, you understand. =)
