Sure, though I foresee the sheer amount of packaging work to get this 
sort of app in the archive to be quite a challenge, both from an initial 
packaging and on-going maintenance effort. Look at what happened with 
eclipse for instance.

Besides, rrom an end-user perspective, I can't picture anyone preferring 
the (potentially lagging) packaged version over more official means like 
the Jetbrains app or the snap package, both of which have been good at 
keeping up with updates.

Don't get me wrong, I understand the rationales from a DFSG perspective. 
I am just questioning whether users of this particular piece of software 
would particularly care.
