That's what I understood from the comments. Someone wrote a SBT plugin with Scala 2.11 and stumbled on an incompatibility. > How do we go about this? Is a new source package needed?

Starting from the scala 2.10.5-1 package is a good idea. It'll indeed have to be renamed to create a new source package (scala-2.10) and some stuff from the later updates will have to be backported (install to /usr/share/scala-2.10, the bnd compatibility fix, and maybe the alternative support). Praying for it to work with Java 8 would be a good idea too ;) I suggest forking the Git repository of the scala package and branching from the commit 88e2381 (the one following the debian/2.10.5-1 tag).
