As I am doing stuff on focal at the moment, I would really appreciate for salt to be integrated back into focal so that we can still use it in focal.

Based on a comment from salt slack channel, possibly the reason for not including it originally, may have been because salt didn't support python3.8. But this was resolved in June with salt 3001 in June.

Based on https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/salt/+publishinghistory it looks like it was removed from Focal for blocking some other package and https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=930178

So based on that debian bug, that was resolved, so I would think that we should be able to move forward, as that comment on the publishing history was dated "2019-11-05 00:10:09 GMT" for version 2018.3.

There's no explanation why it was blocked later with version 3000
