Considering that OTB is not a package developed by volunteers I think that the OTB developers are the ones who have to decide whether they want to produce a Debian package and allocate the necessary resources. In particular, if the only problem left is filling a file with licenses information and Debian is one of the most important linux distributions. I think this is totally up to the OTB developers.
