Yeah! They're really motivated, and there are a few debian-folk
interested in the project (including myself!), as well as a bunch of
raspberry pi foundation folks who would like to see it as the primary
image.

Raspbian basically syncs the Debian archive and rebuilds locally (on a
few beefy ARM build nodes), so if it's in Debian, it'll be in Raspbian!
:)

The chances of it becoming official Debian are slim (since the raspi
stuff is just armhf rebuilt for a minimum of armv6, sorta like if you
were to rebuild a distro that was i686 for the i386), since the
long-term sustainability is shorter then one would expect (keep in mind
Debian releases *roughly* every two years, so how many stable cycles
could one expect this port to live)

Although I'm not very involved with them, I'd be happy to try to answer
questions (or forward the questions) :)

Cheers,
  Paul
