Who is keeping software out of Debian here?

Me, considering proper packaging of greenbone-security-assistant a 
possible task?

Or you, considering it an impossible task?

Or if you are talking about the Kali helper tool here, then please do 
share more details of that wonderful tool, so we can know if you are 
talking about a way to make the impossible-in-your-view possible while 
still complying with Debian Policy, or the wonder really is in an 
implied relaxing of packaging quality.
