There are couple of reasons for this. Firstly, Launchpad doesn't really 
keep track of what's in Debian all that well -- it tries to, but there 
are problems with it. Secondly, if something is going to get uploaded to 
Debian, it needs to be signed by a *private* key that has upload 
permissions to Debian -- and I don't want my private key stored on 
hardware that isn't under my physical control.
