That's not true. Everything that works well and is GPL is entitled to be
packaged for debian.

There may be differences, there may just be situations where one is
preferable to another. Or we could start asking us if we really need vi
or emacs, if we really need kde or gnome, if we really need blackbox and
fluxbox, if we really need aterm and so on.

There are people who prefer wget, there may be people who prefer
httrack.
