Rather than try to become part of Debian, I think that making use of 
their QA software would be a more reasonable goal. As Andreas mentioned, 
  packaging the cores in Debian wouldn't be a very good logical fit, but 
a lot of Debian's methods are applicable to OpenCores. That would also 
ensure that people looking for OpenCores-specific bugs wouldn't get lost 
among all of the non-core-related areas of Debian.
