I was finally able to find an app which does what I want (https://www.nikse.dk/subtitleedit/) It's a windows program, too, but it is GPL and can be run on debian with mono (the latest version 359 did not work perfectly here with Stretch for some reason, maybe Stretch's mono is too old or maybe it's something else; so I followed someone's suggestion and tried an older version (343) which seems to work well here). The feature set this app offers looks rather impressive, obviously it's far superior to similar programs that come with debian. And it can create good looking vobsub subtitles in less than one minute. Just in case someone comes here looking for help: you can download the zip file with the portable version, unpack it and then run # mono SubtitleEdit.exe which should launch the application window. To create vobsub files you can (once the original subtitles are opened) go to File -> Export -> VobSub (sub/idx)... which should open a dialog box where the properties of the vobsub file can be configured and finally press the "Export all lines..." button which will start the procedure.
