Yes, because in the past I managed a collection of systems that
included most of the popular platforms of the time (DEC Ultrix (Mips),
Alpha OSF/1, SunOS 4, AIX, HP/UX and maybe something I'm forgetting).
But now I really only have useful access to Debian systems on x86
hardware. So even if I had time to do it, I would not be able to
provide a useful array of binary packages. I also don't think it
makes sense for me to spend my time building binary packages for
people when that is something that other members of the Octave
community can do. I really do appreciate the effort of those who have
made binary packages in the past and those who continue to do so. I
rely on the Debian packages for installing Octave and would rather not
go back to the days of installing Octave (or other packages) from
source on all the systems I manage.
