The request is 3 years old, and this is quiet a long time in software time-scale.
I guest that Felix Salfelder had in mind something that deviates from Sage.

The current Sage[Math] plays with libgap and we just want to stick with this.
I guess we all agree that it is not the best solution. Our role is to package
Sage[Math] for Debian, not to develop Sage[Math] even if we can suggest patches.
Anyway, the patch and the work to furnish would be too heavy at this stage of
the packaging process: our first priority is to bring Sage[Math] to Stretch.

Thanks,
Jerome

PS: So far I can understand, Felix is no more an active member of the Debian Sage Team.
