Everyone at Debian that has the ability has already made clear over a
period of years that they don't think it's a viable use of their time.
It's too hard given the fact that the toolchain has no support upstream.
This is in effect not a Debian decision; it's Debian's reaction to the
unsupported nature of the actual upstream software.
If you think you can do it despite no assistance from the toolchain that
Debian is built on, you are welcome to contribute. Have a read of this
thread to see any actual Debian Developers that have a stake say the
same thing:
