IIRC up to now it hasn't been possible to add to Debian because it
relie(s|d?) on an old version of Qt.
As a user, I don't like that it runs everything as root nor that it
runs outside X11, but I am using it on my gta02 because it is the
fastest distro available there.
Some further things:
It duplicates parts of FSO in some ways.
Everything is bundled into one big source tree instead of split up.
It uses a forked atd and will not work with the Debian one.
Uses kernels we can't add to Debian.
I have a feeling upstream aren't interested in working on getting it
into Debian, that may be completely wrong though.
