That would be great.

I have used Pencil in the past for simple mockups and at the time I
could not find another app that was as simple as Pencil and provided
equal functionality.

However, Pencil is an Electron[1] app. Debian still has not packaged any
electron app.

As far as I know, we are still far from being able to ship electron in
Debian.

I don't know how up-to-date it is, but this page can be used to track
the progress of packaging electron:
 - https://wiki.debian.org/Javascript/Nodejs/Tasks/electron

Having electron in Debian would allow for many other popular apps for
our users:
 - atom[2]
 - Signal[3]
 - etc.

2. https://atom.io/
3. https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Desktop
