Hi Frederic,

Fabio Pirola also expressed its interest in packaging SBT two days ago
[1], you could probably get in touch and cooperate on this task.

The "easiest" solution is probably to start with a non-free sbt package
containing a prebuilt version of sbt, and then upload in main a sbt
package depending on itself with the prebuilt sbt removed. I would use
only one sbt package, instead of sbt-bootstrap in non-free and sbt in main.
