The packages build successfully and I've uploaded them here: https://debian-science.alioth.debian.org/apt/sid-sage/

Not yet tested though. I had a change of heart about threejs and I think we should build it properly, loading it over the net is really not acceptable and we have to fix it for 7.6 anyways.

There are only 3 commits to backport from Sage: https://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/22488

However the problem is packaging threejs, it requires rollup which isn't Debian (0.38 is in experimental contrib, but it doesn't even work, I have to use the version from git) so I will have some fun figuring out another way to replace Yet Another Bullshit Javascript Build System.
