Hi,

The answer to "why is X not in Debian" for free software packages is mostly: 
because nobody has done the work (yet.)

I haven't looked at openbve at all, but if it's indeed free software and 
does not have dependencies on non-free software, there shouldn't be much 
preventing anybody to create a pakckage. Note that you don't have to be a 
registered Debian developer to create a package: you can find somebody to 
upload it to Debian if you create a package that suffices Debian's 
standards.

Note that for openbve, a "Request for Package" has already been filed:
	<http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=522854>
so at least one other person was interested in getting a package at some 
time.

cheers
