Apparently it is not always as easy as packaging all the different jars, as very often they break compatibitity between versions. So Java developers end up packaging up the exact, tested version of all the jars bundled up. So it is at least questionable, if packaging the myriad of different jars is actually leading up to a working solution and definitely would require lots of work, testing and time. Why not simply ship the precompiled sesame jar (in non-free) in the meantime? As nepomuk can easily fall back to other backends you'd not have to make a hard dependency on it.
