SBT is not working in rawhide due to several bugs.

The above problem is caused by obsolete Maven metadata format [1].
Rebuilding sbt would fix it, but the package is FTBFS for over a year
[2], so it couldn't be rebuilt to use the new metadata format.

Another grave bug that prevents SBT from working is [3].
