Current upstream nightly versions are depending on libngspice which isn't provided by ngspice [1] right now. I proposed a fix for this issue [2] some time ago but until now no one has taken the patch. But the biggest problem is the unclear license of package ngspice, so it's non-free. To get a useful dependency on ngspice needs to go into main. This would require to remove all the non DFSG related parts from the existing source and reupload than to main. Without that KiCad couldn't use the Spice functionality and needs to be build without that. But once there is more free time I would take care on providing nightly versions in experimental.
