That’s because all the work originated in the krakjoe/phpdbg repo, even before 
it was pushed to php-src.
Also, it contains code which makes it compatible with PHP 5.4+. If it’d be in 
the main repo, users with lower PHP versions couldn’t use it at all.

By the way, phpdbg in PHP 7 isn’t handled by that repo anymore, it’s directly 
in master. But new features will still have to be merged up (except if it are 
PHP 7-only features) as long as PHP 5 branch has still one active 
(non-sec-fixes-only) branch.
