I don't know enough to help in this except by making comments like this!<br />
Hope you find it helpful.<br />

It seems to me that sagemath need not depend on python<br />
which is a dependency package.<br />
Its dependence on python2.5 should be enough.<br />
Similarly, python-processing could be included in Squeeze/Sid<br />
with dependence on python2.5 instead of python.<br />
<br />
The major job of adapting to python2.6 can be postponed,<br />
at least for a little while.<br />

What this needs is a newer version of sagemath packaged. This is a major job that, last I <br />
heard, the maintainer did not have time for. If you are interested in the package, you <br />
might consider contacting him and asking to help.<br />
