Agreed.

I talked about this with Canonical's Jono Bacon a couple days ago, and 
now that we have community participation I hope to be able to work with 
the LiveCode team to set up the PPA and work out the packaging details 
so we can put this into the Ubuntu Software Center.

Along the way I'll probably make a Debian package builder in LiveCode 
for LiveCode-based apps.  Shouldn't be too hard, with LC's minimal 
dependencies and generally self-contained nature.
