But dx is still packaged for Debian, it's part of the dalvik-exchange

It would be nice but unfortunately no, per dalvik-exchange 10.0.0+r36-4
. After installing it I see:
[luca@hennessy ~]$ dpkg -S dalvik-exchange
dalvik-exchange: /usr/bin/dalvik-exchange
dalvik-exchange: /usr/share/doc/dalvik-exchange/README.txt
dalvik-exchange: /usr/share/doc/dalvik-exchange

dalvik-exchange: /usr/share/doc/dalvik-exchange/changelog.Debian.gz
dalvik-exchange: /usr/share/doc/dalvik-exchange/copyright
I believe this is the relevant changelog entry:
android-platform-dalvik (7.0.0+r1-2) unstable; urgency=medium
* d/control:
* dalvik-exchange Depends on proguard
* Remove libandroid-jack-dx-java since Jack does not need it for now
* No longer build shrinkedAndroid.jar but link to libandroid-23-java
* dalvik-exchange Depends on libandroid-23-java (>= 6.0.1+r72-3~)
* Remove the Built-Using field in dalvik-exchange
* No loner Build-Depends on libandroid-23-java

I'm not sure what you are showing, installing the package
dalvik-exchange (version 10.0.0+r36-1)
brings
/usr/lib/android-sdk/build-tools/debian/dx
on your system.
I've used it for creating a working android apk, as noted.
See the output of
dpkg-query -L dalvik-exchange | grep dx
