I'm not sure I made more progress than you did, but to avoid duplication of effort. 
I made my initial packaging of 2.9.6 available at 

  http://pivot.cs.unb.ca/git/?p=polymake.git;a=summary

Eventually I will host this on alioth, but I want to deal with a few issues first.

The packing is using topgit (for one trivial patch at the moment;
there were more, but I deleted them with the new upstream).  You can
find some hints in debian/README.source.  You should be able to mostly
ignore that and just clone the repo. Patches against the default
branch (build) are very welcome.

I will discuss the java compilation problems with upstream.
