"I do disagree" Of course you do.
"Trisquel is not a very popular OS, and doesn't have a very large number of developers."
This seems unlikely to change if the response to those expressing an interest are instead told to go work on another distro.
"So if a package is unavailable in Debian, and would be useful to Debian users and users of other Debian-derived distros, I think it would be a bit selfish and possibly a burden to Trisquel's small number of developers to only make the package for Trisquel and not push it upstream."
Actually the work is mostly automated through Helper scripts so there is not much difference in effort. The Helper is made once and only needs updating if there are build failures or other problems that require it be updated.
