It's not obvious to me why: libsqlite0-dev is still in trusty.
Gambas is a bit like Python: it has a rich standard library and users
will expect everything to be available on all platforms. And the
interpreter has a nasty habit of just dumping core when it can't find
a file it wants.
So, barring a licence issue (which won't be the case with SQLIte) we
should package everything upstream provides IMHO.
