Because going again from pure upstream to debianized package is generally more
work than reusing the previous debianization work. If we are lucky, the
previous debianization fits without real changes on the new upstream.
HTH!
BTW, your questions are more about Debian packaging work then about Debian
Python packaging: likely the people at debian-mentors@lists.debian.org (see
https://wiki.debian.org/DebianMentorsFaq ) are a better target.
