The answer to "why is X not in Debian" for free software packages is mostly:
because nobody has done the work (yet.)
I haven't looked at openbve at all, but if it's indeed free software and
does not have dependencies on non-free software, there shouldn't be much
preventing anybody to create a pakckage. Note that you don't have to be a
registered Debian developer to create a package: you can find somebody to
upload it to Debian if you create a package that suffices Debian's
standards.
Note that for openbve, a "Request for Package" has already been filed:
<http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=522854>
so at least one other person was interested in getting a package at some
time.
