All of the dependencies for Sage are in Debian unstable, though some
of them will not be in Lenny. The sagemath package isn't entering
unstable because it hasn't been reviewed for copyright problems. At
this point, it is my guess that the sagemath package will sit in
review delay until Lenny goes out (which was scheduled for this month)
-- I get the feeling that the people who review things for copyright
problems are all busy with release issues.
As for the two bugs, I just closed the LinBox bug; it was accidentally
left open when LinBox got included in Debian a couple months ago.
The zodb issue is a real problem; one cannot access the Sage databases
until it is fixed.
