    I understand all of this, but that wasn't my question.

    Let me try to phrase my question better:

    Currently, Jan Groenewald has a Debian Sage source package which is in
    reality a Sage binary with some Debian magic added to it.  That Debian
    magic allows Launchpad to extract the binary and repackage it such that
    end-users can install it.

    Now, why cannot Jan Groenewald replace the Sage binary in his source
    package by a Sage source in the source package and then trivially adjust
    the Debian magic to simply run "make" on Launchpad (not in the end-user
    install!).

Neither Launchpad nor Debian Magic allows one to trivially run "make"

Uh, debian/rules has a target to trigger a build -- and it can definitely run make. In fact, it generally does just that!

I know that : I learned to package for debian recently. I even have a few packages I'm trying to push into debian (I need sponsorphip...).

Snark on #debian
