With the release cadence of the current major distros vs the pace at which software is released, it doesn't seem to be worth it to get your stuff in the official repos, to quickly be several major versions behind. You can package debs or rpms for easy install, host them on a server (or set up an apt/rpm repo) just fine even if they're not FOSS.
