Until package reorganization are not done, Debian mantainers will
rejected the petition, there are two main objetives in debian package:
liecense policy and lintian errors/messages
A good work its the Debian mark!

Some of main reasons are:
1) lack of mantainers (well its some hard, must read a lot of policies)
2) hard GPL and strict policyes on package quality! (see D.F.S.G. policy)
Debian are the most older but most stable distribution due that's reasons

Debian are a important source guideline for those repositories, that
another reason,, changes implicy lof of extra work betweent team of
mantainers.. its obious that the request will be rejected if rework of
packages over PPA are not done
