Hi Sandro,

Backporting Scala to Jessie shouldn't be that difficult, it will require
two new packages scala-xml and scala-parser-combinators which aren't in
Jessie. The only trick is the recursive build dependency on scala
itself. You'll have to install the package manually in pbuilder to
satisfy the dependency.

I don't have the time to work on this now, so any help would be welcome.
