I tried to install Scala on Fedora 18, but the number of packages
seems excessive:

    Install  1 Package (+101 Dependent packages)

    Total download size: 130 M
    Installed size: 218 M

It brings in Eclipse for some reason. Debian is much lighter:

    The following NEW packages will be installed:
      scala scala-library
    0 upgraded, 2 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
    Need to get 9,876 kB of archives.
    After this operation, 11.1 MB of additional disk space will be used.

(OpenJDK was already installed in both cases.) Is there a technical
reason why Scala is so heavy on Fedora? Is there a chance of the
dependencies being lightened up? Thanks.
