Well, I am actually at the SAGE conference in Bristol right now. But SAGE is really huge and I don't think the time has come to package it in Debian yet. SAGE is packaging a lot of external packages together with SAGE patches to make them compile and play nicely. Two days ago we did a quick check which packages in SAGE are in Debian and which are not: http://wiki.sagemath.org/days6/sprint/debian And there are 24 packages, that are not yet in Debian. And that's not the biggest problem - the biggest problem is that SAGE needs some packages to be patched, like Maxima. So the first step would be to get those patches to the respective Debian packages, the maintainer of which doesn't need to accept them etc. So it's a very slow process and too much for 1 or two people to do.
