We should at least have a proper source package even if it's in non-free. Regarding the dependencies that's an excellent question. Would it be possible to build a self contained package of sbt with its dependencies such that it can be used in offline mode? > Can I use jh_makepkg to package sbt?

For example if someone releases a very popular library but doesn't include the OSGi metadata in the jar, the Orbit project will release a repacked version of foo with the OSGi metadata. So if SBT uses orbit-foo, you'll instead use directly the non orbit foo library available in Debian. This usually implies changing the groupId of the dependency (org.eclipse.jetty.orbit:foo will become org.foo:foo for example). If you have a specific example I can show you how to do that.
