Descent of Angels doesn't work if the unit with that special rule is inside a transport which doesn't have it, right? Not expecting it to, but checking just in the slim case that it does. (My reasoning is that if they're inside a transport, it's the transport which deep strikes, not (abstractly) the troops inside.)

It applies to the unit only, so yes.

To be fair, they are both deepstriking, but if one of the units does not have the rule, it cannot apply to that unit.

Thanks. I have seen cases where a rule is conferred to another unit if the two "join up".

Sure, which is why I said "abstractly". It's the transport's deep strike rule which is being used, not the troop's is what I meant.

The transport would not be affected by DOA the squad has, so it would scatter a full 2d6

DoA applies to units with only jump packs, under the descent of angels rule in your codex on pg.23 it states

"Other units in the Blood Angels army that can arrive by Deep Strike do so using the normal rules."

perfectly correct, besides a deepstriking land raider with DoA would be sooo unfair.

If a librarian with a jump pack is with an assault squad that deep strikes, do they still have the DOA rule? or would they scatter 2d6 since the librarian does not have the rule?

The jump packs give units with them decent of angels so yes he would
