I didn't follow the thread very closely, but I have understood there was 
a partial dependency circle, and since packaging javascript packages 
taught me some tricks, I have an uninformed idea :

- get fpylll in Debian without sage support ;
- since it's a runtime and not a build-time dep of sage, one can then 
get sage in Debian -- it compiles but doesn't run : a big temporary RC bug!
- now sage is in Debian, it's possible to compile fpylll in Debian with 
sage support ;
- the RC bug is hence fixed.

How does that sound?
