I don't have an answer, but I'd like to take this opportunity to add here a link to the Debian ITP request ticket for XBMC (ie, the debian way of including new software into the distro, ITP = Intend To Package):
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=469397
By the way, it looks like some progress has been made through the years on getting XBMC to be acceptable for inclusion, and I'd imagine the effort could use some more helping hands.
