Packaging Pantheon isn't the big problem as far as I can see (from my experience in packaging it for Gentoo Linux). The main problem with pantheon is it's dependency on some Ubuntu specific patches for Gnome libraries. For example, the user-specific background feature of the pantheon-greeter depends on a patched version of accountsservice and gnome-settings-daemon to work (these are the hard parts to figure out). For this reason I'm now also trying to maintain these Gnome packages with Ubuntu patches in my repository. Furthermore the dependency of Gnome (and core components like gnome-settings-daemon) on systemd causes some issues (media-keys not working proberly, logoff/shutdown/reboot not working, etc.). So aside from being able to install Pantheon on debian, I see most issues in the system integration and the full user experience (including installer etc.) as the main problem.
