Hum, let me think... maybe because no one requested to be packaged? :-)

You can make a request for a package to be added in Debian's pool:

http://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/index.en.html

If someone is interested in maintaining it and there are no license 
issues, it will be available.

You can also contact the package owner and ask him/her if he/she is 
interested in (co)maintaining the package directly at Debian 
repositories :-?
