For all that concerns building:
https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/RustPackaging

For all that concerns userland:
https://wiki.debian.org/Javascript
In particular this is very interesting to read (because it explains what
could be bundled or not):
https://wiki.debian.org/Javascript/GroupSourcesTutorial

Debian toolchains have been upgraded (mainly by DD yadd) to cope with
bundled dependencies,
A.K.A. components. Uscan now supports this.

In my experience a huge project like Deno is going to drag sub-projects,
make them live,
and also make mistakes and depend on abandonware.
This isn't going to be a piece of cake. The more Deno and its deps are
stable, the more it's going to be easy to package.
