IPFS client not on Debian yet, after what, 10 years?

Apparently IPFS is having a slow adoption problem -- despite being an important solution to the enshitified gated centralised web.

Debian stands as the most popular among the well-supported distros. Debian has some degree of quality standards that (although not spectacular) relatively far surpass most distros. A package making it into the official Debian repos generally demonstrates that an app is up to scratch -- ready for prime time.

If I have not overstated things, it must be at least somewhat embarrassing for both the IPFS project and Debian that IPFS has no client in the official Debian repos. IPFS should have targetting Debian as a goal to get respect and adoption.. to get on the radar. It’s just a tarball now.

And from Debian’s standpoint, it’s not great that an important protocol to succeed HTTP is missing from official support.
