scala doesn't build with Java 8, and I believe this improved with the
version 2.11. So if we can aim higher this will help with the transition.

I had a quick browse on the pkg-scala Debian mailing list and it appears the dependencies for 2.11 are fewer than for 2.10 [0]. So aiming for that should help all round. There have been a few people attempting it so it might be worth inviting them to Debian Java so that the work can be co-ordinated.
