Is there a reason that the packages for aprsc are not in Debian? Is it not
DFSG compliant?

Having taken a quick look, I think aprsc should really be in Debian. The
only reasons to have a third-party repository IMO is that the packages are
not *yet* of a high enough quality to go into Debian but people need to
start using the package now or there are updates so frequently that using
Debian's repositories is not practical due to migration delays.
