Out of curiosity, what's tricky about it?  I noticed that there's a
python-cysignals-base, and python-cysignals-pari (the latter being the
one required for Sage).  Does it have to do with that?  I wonder if
there's anything that could make it easier (it really *shouldn't* be
hard...)

Not to my knowledge, but I'm not an expert on GAP packages.
