Thanks for the report!

This would explain why I had to manually install givaro from 
experimental in my sbuild when I was packaging the new upstream version 
of linbox.  It never occurred to me that the mistake was in fflas-ffpack...

Anyway, I've fixed the problem in git [1].  I've copied this message to 
the Sage team -- would anyone be able to sponsor?
