just a short follow up, why I want to see VeraCrypt installable from Debian:

The current upstream maintainers offer binary blobs of VeraCrypt for  
installation on Linux, also Debian.

With the binary builds, I see the issue that no exact sources of the  
builds are available. The builds probably have been derived from the  
upstream Git or source release tarballs, but who knows.
