Awful because it does not solve the cycle dependency issue, it just initialize it.

- From Debian point of view, if the cycle dependency issue cannot be solved upstream
for whatever reason, we may consider to bring it with the sage package itself.

If the main aim of fpylll is to be used by Sage with a specific dependence on it,
it is no more a software library but a plug-in, and it must be distributed as is.
Instead of comparing to KDE, we may rather compare Sage to GAP or R.
