It was on purpose at the time, but I think we can package the extension itself for Buster. However, upstream does plan on dropping[1] the OCaml texvc binary that currently generates math images in favor of a nodejs renderer called "mathoid", which I have no intention of packaging due to the complexity. If that happens in time for the next MediaWiki LTS (1.31 in May/June 2018) then I don't plan on maintaining texvc or the Math extension in Debian and will ask for its removal.
