I would also love to see geogebra in Debian repositories. I contacted
Markus (upstream in the past) he told me:

[SNIP]
Hello,

please use GeoGebra Webstart www.geogebra.org/webstart or the download
version www.geogebra.org/download to install our software.

You can find the source code at www.geogebra.org/source/program,
however you cannot build a fully functional version of GeoGebra from
our sources because we cannot provide our digital signature to sign
the jar files.

Best wishes,
Markus
