Debian packages of TYPO3 are never really up to date.
Especially not on stable releases... And there is no pragmatic way to 
have several version on your server or automatically create several 
instances... In fact it is unusable for productive envirements...
Only Beginners might profit as long as "apt-get install typo3" is enough 
for a typo3 installations only fullfilling basic requirements...
So if typo3 is canceled from the package list, this won't be really 
dramatic for anyone... But I think it would be moved to "non-free" 
packages.
And in my opinion, everybody using Typo3.deb packgages from rep, will 
have non-free enabled in any way :P

Just my opinion to that...
