I'm trying to finish nbconvert, with the notebook to come -- last time I 
had a look, we (Debian) were lacking javascript packages. So perhaps you 
need not join the DPMT after all :-P

If you don't feel good with packaging javascript, you could also launch 
ipython (the one in experimental) and try to run a few commands in them. 
You should get a few warnings : those are hints something isn't quite right.

See above for ideas what to do -- but you can also try to find out what 
the better scheme to ship jupyter kernel is... I don't think anybody 
wondered seriously about it yet. :-)
