I admit I'm not a QIIME user and so I can not give some sensible advise
how to can add the phylogeny plugin to your Debian package installation.
However I just injected some (not yet finished!) Debian packaging for
the said plugin[1] and filed an according ITP bug[2].
The packaging is not ready yet and after a quick view it might be caused
by some ramxl issue where a different binary package name is expected.
This needs further investigation I can not do right now (every other
team member is kindly invited to step in ;-) )

The bug report is definitely valid. We try to fix this soon but it
might last until the next Debian version is released since Debian
unstable is currently frozen.

Sorry, I can not comment on this since I simply lack the required
knowledge.

I think the best idea you had is really to show up here and let us
know what you want to use which will motivate us to package what you
need. We can not give any timing promises but the work has started
at least.
Kind regards
Andreas.
