There is really no way to keep the wrapper or any other jar. In Debian
everything has to be built from the sources, and dependencies must be
packaged first. This is quite frustrating for us Java developers used to
download artifacts from a Maven repository, but it turns out to be fun
too if you see this as a puzzle to be assembled piece by piece.

If you focus on a subset of Kafka that may be easier. Looking at the
dependency tree it looks like the lz4 support may be disabled in favor
of snappy. That would leave zkclient as the only dependency left to package.
