Yes > I looked around all the work Fedora did too - which would require substantial changes to how Debian Java/JVM world deals with maven. The fedora work does make a bootstrap package (with some of the jar binaries) then builds the real scala with that, and doesn't deploy the bootstrap package for users. So in the end that's free software. Sorta... The scala / sbt world is terribly recursive and complex to detach from running offline and prevent it from "downloading the internet" when you are using it. I'm not actively using Scala itself these days. I'm more interested in (simpler) languages and systems that use it to build DSLs and other more higher level systems. I'm interested to provide some help in packaging as part of a team; it's fine with me if that's debian-java. In my opinion, you need to know Java/jvm world in order to do scala.
