Hi Neal,
check out the http://wiki.sagemath.org/DebianSAGE and the pages linked
from there. The idea with Debian is to coordinate with the individual
maintainers which we either know or seem sympathetic to our effort.
Since we do package the a lot of mathematical open source software and
we are usually on the cutting edge they welcome that we want to help
out.
Cheers,
Michael
