I don't know what sbt is (I know little about scala). I get the impression 
there are quite a few commonly used bits of the scala tool chain that aren't 
in Debian.

The little experience I have is with latexdraw. It uses scalac and then 
maven (which is calling javac and then jar) to make the relevant jar.

I'm guessing you don't want to go anywhere near maven and will need to do 
that step yourself too.

(or alternatively, package sbt?! ;)

hope that helps!

cheers
Stuart
