i might provide backports of (select) pd-packages. just like i already
provide a "puredata" (0.48) backport to stretch users.

short answer: no.
longer answer: sure. people only need to include all the dependencies
locally (in this case, the deken package would need to provide a
"libjson-c2.so" file and the externals, e.g. "rest.pd_linux" would need
to look for this dynamic library locally (in addition to the system paths)).
repeat this for all other (non-standard) dynamic libraries your external
depends on. repeat this for all (non-standard) dynamic libraries
required by all (non-standard) dynamic libraries your external depends on.
recurse until there are no more non-standard dependencies left.

just to give a quick impression on the numbers of dynamic libraries:

~~~
$ ldd zexy/zexy.pd_linux | grep -c .
4
$ ldd purest_json/rest.pd_linux | grep -c .
32
~~~

if you are only interested in libraries in '/usr/' (as a crude
measurement on "non-standard" library):

~~~
$ ldd zexy/zexy.pd_linux | grep -c /usr/
0
$ ldd purest_json/rest.pd_linux | grep -c .
21
~~~
