Hi, I just made a fool of myself on the simple-build-tool list by claiming that Debian would build scala without scala. I only checked debian/rules and debian/control and since scala is in main, I assumed that I must be right.
However scala comes with a bytecode-compiled scala compiler in lib/ which is required only during build but not installed in the binary packages. I already opened reportbug to fill a serious Debian Policy violation, but actually I couldn't find anything in the policy about it. So is it ok to ship binaries in the source package that are only required during build? Can I do the same with simple-build-tool, which requires itself to build?
