Hi 0 jan@muizenberg:~$dpkg -S /usr/bin/sagemath sagemath-upstream-binary: /usr/bin/sagemath
I've already added that in the PPA due to the same reasons ;) And it lives in /usr/lib/sagemath. I'd advocate even chaging the command line on the long run (support both for a few years). Most important -- searching for help on google might take you to the wrong place. Almost as bad as LaTeX.
