Because of the PREEMPT_RT policy, and the possible extra policies from ELISA, etc. This is why one of the development rules at the top of the Python script, at patch 03/10, is: The tool must not depend on being run inside the kernel source tree. This simplifies invocation, testing and possible future packaging. So, upon (hopefully) including this tool mainline, I'd send a patch to the Debian kernel team to create a separate Debian package from the kernel sources for it. That is, exactly like what they're now doing with perf. (v2 of this series will add versioning support to the schemas; thus making the tool's support for packaging stronger as well.)
