Hi Camm, with all the issues that prevent us from using the maxima package for SageMath (version mismatch, ecl vs. gcl, missing fasl file, missing patches) an the freeze for stretch getting closer, we needed a solution. So I created a separate maxima package to be used by SageMath.
It is called maxima-sage and contains maxima 5.35.1 using ecl. It is fully coinstallable with your maxima packages and contains this text in the package description of each binary package: The maxima-sage packages are meant to be used together with SageMath. They contain the version of Maxima that works together with the SageMath version in Debian and use ECL instead of GCL as Lisp compiler. To use Maxima by itself, the more complete and up-to-date maxima package is recommended. I hope you can live with this solution. For the next Debian release we have another chance to try and use your maxima packages for SageMath. You can close this bug now if you want. Best, Tobias
