Hi Rogério,

Thank you for joining the party. An updated scala package would be very
welcome, it will help with the Java 8 transition (#760930).

commons-graph is an excellent choice, it has only one dependency on
junit and it's already in Debian. Using mh_make you should be able to
generate a working package with few efforts.

I won't attend DebCamp but you can find me and other packagers on
#debian-java. I'll be happy to guide you through the tools.
