    I don't understand what you mean at all.

Unless you exactly follow what the spkg does I'd recommend you try on a
build host with an older filesystem...

If that remark is about the fact that the spkg patches the value of POLY_Dmax using sed and that can be a problem, see below.

    I beg to disagree: the next upload of a palp package in debian will be
    sage-compatible.

Because you essentially forked palp. I'm happy with pushing sage-palp
into debian, but if you use upstream code then it won't work.

In fact, my package:

- has a patch, forwarded upstream, which makes it easy to compile PALP with various POLY_Dmax values, since it's a matter of adding -DPOLY_Dmax=<num> to the compile lines ;

- provides its own set of configure.ac + GNUmakefile.am, which were forwarded upstream last time (but I still have to do it again with the latest changes), where I added the various targets ;

- provides its own manpages, which were forwarded upstream (but I still have to do it again with the latest changes).

I need to find the time to write an email to upstream about the latest news, and to the debian-science mailing-list to ask for a sponsor for the new package... things are pending.

Why does sage use 6 as a default when upstream uses 7 ?
