No. From the first post:

I have no use for installing packages.

There was also no mention of that package manager doing something like 
deps either (nor do I want it to: booting the Erlang VM to then call 
"git clone" is not particularly efficient, and efficiency is important 
for my workflow).

I am using erlang.mk which implements something similar to rebar, yes.

Unfortunately in my case I will have to keep maintaining a separate 
wheel because I do not want to boot the Erlang VM for these things.
