Hi Dan, I want to focus on newer, and from-source, but until Friday I am only working on this from-binary. I want to add i686 today, and fix any bugs I may find.
I will perhaps also try add a bug-reporting mailing list to the PPA page, it seems launchpad can host them. I may be back more often asking for help on sage-devel though! I guess that dpkg dependency is because I built the deb on precise, and there is a mechanism for Copying packages to save resources, where they do not need rebuilding. I will look into it -- thanks for testing and reporting.
