Why is magento not packaged for Ubuntu?

I know it is simple to download and install but so are many other applications such as phpmyadmin, drupal and Zend Framework and they are all just an apt-get away.

Why is there no package for magento in the repositories or apparently from anywhere else?

Is it a licensing issue? The software is dual licensed under a commercial license and Open Software License (OSL 3.0).

Have a look at the list of all applications that need to be included in the repositories: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bugs?field.tag=needs-packaging There is more than 2k entries. I think it's not packaged for ubuntu only because the packagers don't have enough time, as there is lots of other work to do.

The license rarely is a problem. Note that quite a lot of free commercially-licenced applications are packaged for ubuntu (proprietary drivers or Adobe Flash for example).
