Julien built an almost working prototype for a native sage on debian.
This implies out of the box installation for a lot of users (and
potentially much cleaner integration of third party softwares). The
real question is:
does the Sage community will officially support sage on debian ?
Sage shouldn't support Debian. Debian should support Sage.
Sage already works on Debian, just build from source. Debian could
easily make a Sage package if they wanted. However, Debian doesn't like
the "batteries included" of Sage. Fine, but that's Debian's problem and
not Sage's problem.
Imagine that Sage officially support Debian. Now Sage wants to upgrade
some package to a version that Debian doesn't ship. Then what? Requiring
such support would only slow down Sage development further.
