liboqs already once was part of Debian/sid and was removed later.
One of the major reasons was that upstream did not want to see liboqs
shipped in a stable release (See
https://github.com/orgs/open-quantum-safe/discussions/1625 )
GnuTLS has (temporarily, until nettle has PQ in a released version)
switched to leancrypto from liboqs, have you looked at that?
