For getting TeXmacs (back) into Debian the issue is not TeXmacs itself, but
Guile 1.8 on which TeXmacs depends and which is deprecated (It has received no
updates in years) and no longer in Debian. Resolving the issue means shifting
TeXmacs to another Scheme engine (not necesarily Guile 2.x). There have been
several attempts, but it is absolutely non trivial.
So, if one wants to get TeXmacs back into Debian repos, that's the top
priority. The rest will be a piece of cake.
On the other hand, installing TeXmacs in Debian and derivatives is no big
deal: up-to-date .deb packages are available.
