Re: Bug#782654: ITP: bazel, but it builds against its earlier version.

Indeed as Philipp said it is not as simple as packaging dependencies. However the Bazel team is going to do some of the refactoring needed and will accept any help for that.

I don't think it's quite that easy, but I wish you luck. :)

However in terms of how to get it in in the first place: For
bootstrapping the usual way is to do an upload per architecture that has
been built using a locally installed version of the package and then
binNMU it in the archive against itself.
