The version of Sage in Debian/Ubuntu is hopelessly outdated and right

the Sage documentation.
i.e., there's a .deb containing an outdated sage system? or there's
no-one working to update sagetex to current ctan standards? (we know
that's false.)
I can't speak about sagetex, but sage in Debian is uninstallable in Debian's sid
distribution. I'm CC'ing the maintainer, via a new bug filed with bugs.debian.org.
I tried to install sagemath on my computer, since I needed to do some lenghty
calculations. :-(
To be fair, it seems that the package needs some work upstream:
http://bugs.debian.org/535357
I don't know if the newer sources fix the problem there, but it would be really
nice to have this fixed before the new releases of Debian/Ubuntu.
Regards,
