So I think this leaves us at "we need to update the package". Sigh.
Maybe we should just take whatever version of Sage is in Ubuntu right
now and patch it so that running sage simply exits with something
like
**********************************************************************
THIS VERSION OF SAGE IS RIDICULOUSLY OUT-OF-DATE!
Please download a binary for the latest version of Sage at
http://www.sagemath.org
or build it yourself from source.
If you insist on running this version, type
./sage -yes_i_know_its_ridiculous_but_i_want_to_anyway
**********************************************************************
What do you think? Too over-the-top?
I'd be very surprised if the Ubuntu archive team would accept that
sort of
stable release update.
Would they accept an "update" of the download-binary-from-sagemath.org
type?
