two reasons:
 1. this came from a Odroid-specific repo as stated above.
 2. afaics, the only way to make it more generic is to add systemd support and that is something I don't know how to do nor I have time to do so.

moreover, if it can be useful for other platforms, why not have it as part of the generated tree and not have it as a pkg?
