I fail to see the connection between using Debian and using Eclipse.

Go start packaging yourself, or at least write what would be needed.  In 
the past, upstream didn't care much about getting packaging issues 
addressed upstream, and packaging is very time consuming.

I'm not sure if RedHat is still doing that, but they had one or two full 
time developers doing that.
