Approach to package simple-build-tool

[Sergey Ukustov]

Hi all,

I'm Sergey Ukustov, 23 yo, from Volgograd, Russia.
PhD student and Scala+js :) developer. Have scratched the surface of the
Debian packaging.

I would like to know how to package simple-build-tool. It is a build
tool like make or maven but configurable in Scala. It is distributed as
a jar file sbt-launcher.jar. Users usually create "sbt" wrapper command
for java -jar sbt-launcher.jar. The problem is sbt is built using early
version of itself. It means one must have sbt-launch.jar of the version
v0.7 for example to build sbt-launch.jar v0.10.

Please, tell me what is the best practice to handle this kind of
(self-dependent when building) programs.

Sincerely yours,
Sergey.
