Since I did not follow the GSOC discussion, can you point me (or better summarize) what the better alternative would be to install sage on default packages that are available a given distribution? Of course, I mean that a sage installation should never install anything that is already available in a standard distribution. Obviously your (and probably others) opinion is that a sage installation as approached by Felix for Debian cannot easily be lifted to other non-debian distributions. I haven't actually looked at any code (so I'm rather uninformed). Still, can you summarize what the problems with Felix' approach is?
