Ok, we have a google group debian-sage that despite its name might be
a better place to discuss this.

In theory: yes. But in practice we do build all those since using
different version numbers can cause trouble. But since we have an
extensive test suite you should catch those issues. We are currently
on the way to package Sage on Debian and we plan to coordinate with
the maintainers of the packages that are already in Debian.
You might want to make a list of what already is in FC and what is
not. Then you should compare version numbers.
Cheers,
Michael
