I'm not sure this is actually true. Debian has Python and Perl packaging teams which are quite successful, and the Java packaging may also be in better shape there. I think the difference to C is that these languages come with their own packaging/build systems, so creating a distribution package needs a certain number of kludges, but once you've figured those out, you can maintain a large number of packages. I thought that Java used to be like this, too, thanks to ant and later Maven, but maybe this has changed with Gradle, SBT, and whatnot.
