A Linux sysadmin that doesn't know how to recompile a kernel needs to
find a new job. I learned in about 25 minutes when I was 13. :-)

One of the nice things about Debian is that people volunteer to do the
work. I do not need this kernel. The people that I support do not need
this kernel, therefore, I have no stake in whether this kernel is
installed or not. If you care, then you can volunteer to maintain it.
If there would be a demand for it, a real strong demand, then we would
already have packages for it.
Debian isn't about making money or about having millions of users (both
are nice), but about freedom.
Just my two cents,
