Could you clarify that a bit?  Maybe someone like I or Dima can help there.

Also, if you can point me to some step-by-step instructions for
building/testing the latest sagemath package for Debian I could help
out more directly as well.  It's just been a while since I've done
that, and I feel like last time I tried I got confused somewhere along
the way.
