I also think it would be nice to have separate scala_2_9 package. Even if it couldn't be installable together with older versions of Scala (we could declare, that it conflicts with older Scala packages). Most of users would benefit anyway in my opinion.
You've said Scala is moving fast. Depends on what you compare it to - actually Scala 2.9.0 was released 2011.5 and Scala 2.8.1 2010.11 - this is half of a year, not that short in my opinion. How much of manual work does it take to prepare Scala package - maybe someone external could volunteer to do some of it? Regards, Przemysław Pokrywka
