I don't think there are too many practical reasons other than every package
that wants to add PyPy support has to minimally add a binary package section
and some build-deps.  For bonus, build-time and/or autopkgtests should also be
added and of course the whole extra stack needs testing.

I just added PyPy support to pyparsing, but mostly because it's a new
dependency of setuptools and Doko requested it.  I've also submitted a bug and
patch to autodep8 to recognize and generate PyPy test suites (#823883).

JFDI, or do you want reviews of the packaging and/or need sponsorship?

Then the question is, what about Jython?  I guess we don't (yet) have to care
about IronPython.
