Geometry is not in stable (I know, when Squeeze was release that
package didn't exist). But mechanics package is not in any of the
Debian distributions.

Debian can't package all of them. It's great they can package the most
important ones, but if Agora works out as planned, there's just no way
they can deal with all packages.
