Hi Jerome, thanks for the quick reply.

Yes, it looks like Sage is indeed using private functions. I have added a patch to make them use the public functions instead:

https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/debian-science/packages/sagemath.git/commit/?id=53e81977cc9dc603d30a1d52283bebe03565fbe4

I will submit this upstream, and hopefully it is acceptable to them. It looks like MPFI is fine, you don't need to make changes. Feel free to close this bug, or perhaps you would like to wait until I have confirmed my patch with Sage upstream.
