Sage's libgap and cddlib are problems : they correspond to upstreams

That is not correct, there is no upstream library interface to gap. So
there is no conflict. However, Debian invented a gap-library package.

The package is actually named gap-libs, and isn't a library package in the computer science meaning of the word, so isn't the reason libgap can't go in debian.

Since there is a gap project (with a version number, say 3.14), debian doesn't want to release a "libgap-3.14" (same name, same version number) package not from upstream, as that would be deceiving the users. Rename that libsagegap and it's not a problem anymore.

Do not lie, do not deceive -- are those unreasonable demands?
