Has anyone considered emailing the official maintainer Tim Abbott <tabb...@mit.edu>
and ask him whether he would be interested in handing over maintainership to someone with more time to bring the debian package up to date? I would be happy to help out with this (including contacting Abbott), but it will clearly require quite a bit of work because neither Debian nor Ubuntu like packages which duplicate software already in the repositories. Removing sage from Debian/Ubuntu is probably not a good idea, since those repositories are what those users expect to get their software from. Usage of my cadabra CAS went up dramatically once it got into the Ubuntu repositories, even though I had binaries available for download before that. So it would help a lot to have an up-to-date sage in those repositories too.
