I have asked this myself. Why did I want this to happen - and I think
the answer is two-fold:
a) community-forming - not necessarily I am after contributors to
LinuxCNC but I see the extra stimulus to package other CNC-related
software for Debian from which then LinuxCNC benefits
b) less stress to "keep everything together". There are several LiveCDs
that likely would just go and add LinuxCNC, such that there may not be
an ultimate need for LinuxCNC to maintain its own. LinuxCNC in my
understanding is a bit of a distribution in itself: It has amalgamated
several projects (ladder comes to mind) that have been developed
independently before. If this all works out nicely then LinuxCNC could
consider to present some of its internals as independent packages.
Something else I see is that LinuxCNC has the Mesa cards as closely tied
hardware. There could be more. I could imagine that have LinuxCNC
integrated with Debian (now) and Ubuntu (soon) will ease the internal
decision making for hardware companies that today only address Mach3 et al..
We'll see :)
Best,
Steffen

Yayyy! Thank you Steffen, and Petter and everyone who's been working on
getting LinuxCNC into Debian!
If you're running sid/unstable you can now just `apt-get install
linuxcnc-uspace`, right from the debian.org package archive:
<https://packages.debian.org/linuxcnc-uspace>
It'll hopefully make it into bookworm/testing in a couple of days.
We'll work on bullseye after that. :-)
