It's more involved, as somebody filed a RFS without turning the RFP into
an ITP, and therefore tricked me into sponsoring the Ubuntu upload.
Besides, the RFS owner never replied...

The problem is that in Debian somebody uploading a package makes a
commitment of maintaining it, something that in Ubuntu doesn't exist
where you can just upload once and forget... (well, it's not written
that has to be like that, but this is the reality).
So unless somebody steps up to actively maintain the package, it won't
appear in Debian.
