http://www.ubuntulinux.org/ubuntu/components/document_view

explains what it means for a package to be in main, and

http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/SeedManagement

In the particular case of k3b, this would require supporting a large
quantity of KDE-related infrastructure which we currently do not support.
