Mostly because Debian doesn't accept patent encumbered, DMCA violating
or non-redistributable software at all, and doesn't put much effort into
redistributable non-free software either.

There are good reasons why the software in Automatix isn't already in
the distributions it targets, and those reasons do not include lack of
effort.
