First we have to get ecl to migrate to testing. And even then, I'm
considering to prepare a real maxima-sage (5.35.1) package on the
weekend. Since we need a different version than the debian package now,
we wouldn't even really duplicate the source anymore. Having two
versions of a software in Debian sometimes happens when it can't be
avoided. And that package could be stripped down. Coinstallable with
maxima, only ecl, less binary packages. What do you think?

No, didn't get such errors.
