Sbaz is not part of the Scala sources. So, I don't see any reason to put it in the scala package. It may have its own package.

I don't understand what you mean by it's not part of the scala sources:

I just downloaded the scala sources from http://www.scala-lang.org/downloads (2.7.7 final), and sbaz is included in it. (along with scaladoc and fsc).

The manpage for scala(1) references sbaz(1) in the 'See Also' section, but sbaz isn't packaged, so that's a broken link. See http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/lucid/man1/scala.1.html

I must have been drunk that day. Of course sbaz is part of Scala sources. I'll add it in the next upload (in Debian) of Scala.

Sorry for the misunderstanding.

It seems that I was right the first time *sigh*!

There is a manpage for sbaz in the Scala sources, but with no corresponding source code of the utility. As you can see in [1], sbaz lives in its own source tree. So, sbaz really needs its own source package.
