Well...

Gap 4.10 and associated packages are a large change. I can't see it going 
straight from positive_review to release. Including it would entail at 
least a 8.5.rc2, and a decent shakedown period. This argues strongly in 
favor of Volker's suggestion of releasing 8.5 "as is" from 8.5.rc1.

But let's look at an alternative, aiming at advancing Debian's Sage and 
supporting software as far as possible :

Nice ! That would allow 8.5.rc2 about Dec, 22 and, if all goes well and 
Volker _ajuvante_, 8.5 release on Dec 29.

What about Debian packaging ? Postulating 8.5 release on Dec 29, cant Sage 
be packaged and uploaded to unstable before Jan. 12 ?

Call that 8.6 rather than 8.5.1 (better marketing...). But 8.5 would be 
even better...
