Well, that must be one of those (rare) cases when Ubuntu maintainers did the
actual work instead of leeching package from Debian. :)
I suppose sometimes they need to do such things to claim "added value" as
without it Ubuntu would be no more than yet another redundant Debian
derivative...

Packaging is a one time effort. Maintaining package is a liability.
I already have enough packages to look after and I do not want to maintain
Glmark2 as I don't even use it any more. As you can see from #695849 [1]
you are the first person expressing interest in Glmark2 for years.
I think it is somewhat expected considering that Glmark2 is dormant upstream
(or dead) while there are other more powerful GL benchmarking suits
available...
Please feel free to take over the packaging if you wish to maintain Glmark2
in Debian.
