Julien built an almost working prototype for a native sage on debian.
This implies out of the box installation for a lot of users (and
potentially much cleaner integration of third party softwares). The
real question is:

    does the Sage community will officially support sage on debian ?

I really hope that the answer is yes. If it is the case, it is a big
-1 for having PARI-unstable within Sage. Unless of course Bill and
Karim agreed on having an official pari-unstable package in debian.
