Bug#944544: sagemath: prompt_toolkit 2.x support

[Tobias Hansen]

Hi,

it looks like prompt_toolkit was only added to sagemath because ipython depends on it. So it could well be that the sagemath Debian package does not need a direct dependency on it. Unfortunately sagemath does not say anywhere what are its direct dependencies so the Debian package has some unnecessary dependencies.

Best,
Tobias
