Kenshi's description is accurate.
I would not call it "depending on a package in non-free" when (a) the
dependency is *optional* and (b) the software in question is open source
now, even though Debian has not reacted yet.

I have been looking into the issue with the other Scala developers to
explore options.
The best would be if anyone knows a set of JDK5 stubs that Scala can
compile against. An implementation is necessary, and the stubs do not
need to be complete -- the concurrency classes might be enough. If
anyone knows of such a thing, do email me!
Anyway, I'm looking into it. And I'm hoping the Sun JVM gets into
Debian main before too long.
