i hope so. please tell me if there's anything to be considered.

is this about installing a most recent version of sage on a stable
debian system?
sage-specific deb packages will (probably) never be part of debian. i
expect sage developers to take more care about pushing patches upstream
in the future. so the way to go would be backports for fresh debian
packages or fallback to sage ("the distribution") (or a successor).
hopefully some day sage ("the distribution") can be configured with
--just-install-needed ...
