Since you already have debs/rpms ready, it should not be too hard.
I tried to persuade Mandriva to continue with KDE 3.5 some time ago, the
answer was a flat NO and they show no sign of changing their minds.
I'm sure most people here would love this to happen, but we don't have the
power to do it. The distros will only include a package if enough people ask
for it or are already using it, so your best bet is to spread the word!
Community pressure is the only way to achieve the result you want.
In the mean time we will keep building packages.

There are several things required for getting included in distro
repositories. One is having user repositories, another is having a
userbase (aka demand), another important one is having a maintainer or
developer working on the distro, to help you.
At this point though, unofficial repositories aren't really that bad.
