Cool.

Well, William did some pretty deep changes upstream does not want,
i.e. Sage does not use the XML interface that they want to keep non-
optional, so I am not sure how much of the code should actually go
upstream.

Sounds like an accident. As is the code in Sage is actually partially
broken on Itanium/Linux (some allocator just segfaults), so this ought
to be sorted out in Sage 4.0.x. Right now the plan is to do 4.0 before
SD 15, 4.0.1 after SD 15 with work from SD 15 and patches that didn't
make it into 4.0. and then hopefully sort out everything for Debian
for 4.0.2, i.e. about a month from now. Does that fit with your time
table?
After that we ought to have 4.1 which should deal with the category
patches, etc.
