[Debian-science-sagemath] ecl package update to 26.5.5, with consumers

[Peter Van Eynde]

Hello all,

So the new ecl got accepted in experimental, and as per the transition 
procedure we now need to upload the packages which depend on this to 
experimental too. And test these of course. According to 
https://release.debian.org/transitions/html/auto-ecl.html this would:

- maxima-sage

- sagemath


Is this something someone can do?


Best regards, Peter
