Otherwise, I would direct your question towards a Debian mailing list to see the status. Doing a search, I managed to find https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=681726 which basically makes it seem like there aren't enough people willing to do the packaging work necessary. There are distros that keep up to date with the latest Eclipse releases but my guess is for those that don't, their recommendation is probably to just download the linux specific tarball that is released at the Eclipse Foundation. Hope this helps, Roland Grunberg
