Hello ! I stopped updating v8 for a while, waiting to see which version was going to be used for nodejs Long Term Support (4.2.x) branch, which embeds v8 4.5. Now i think the simplest thing to do is to take advantage of the LTS of nodejs to distribute that version of v8, to avoid a non-upstream-maintained version in debian. Is there something else raspbian need besides arm fpu/cpu config ? If not, next nodejs (4.2 or even 5.2) upload should build and run fine. (not the current one because of the wrong -mfpu=vfpv2 option), and next month i'll upload libv8-4.5. Regards, Jérémy.
