The users don't have to worry, because the people who make the packages have worried for them. We decided it was far easier to make a statically linked binary, with no dependencies. That means you can run it on any linux distribution at all, and it doesn't need to be packaged. Just download it and run it. If you *really* want a ubuntu or debian package for it, then go ask the people who maintain those distributions to make one. It's really not our job.
