We add all runtime dependencies as build dependencies for sage. I really meant the difference between direct and indirect dependencies. Some standard packages (e.g. 'prometheus_client') are only there because some other standard package (in the example it is 'notebook') depends on it. In that case the sage package should depend only on the direct dependency and the indirect dependency is pulled in by that.

Would you say the combination of the toolchain, sagelib and doc dependencies in build/make/deps give a good approximation of a list of direct sage dependencies?

Best,

Tobias

P.S.: Old mipsel and mips64el binaries have just been removed so sage 8.6-2 should migrate to testing today.
