The currently missing Build-Depends of sagemath are

      python-numpy (>= 1:1.12.0~rc2) 
      python-pexpect (>= 4.1) 
      python-ptyprocess 
      python-sagenb (>= 0.13) 
      python-sagenb-export 
      python-snowballstemmer 
      python-terminado 
      rubiks 
      sympow (>= 1.023-8) 
      jupyter-client 
      jupyter-core 
      jupyter-nbextension-jupyter-js-widgets 
      python-ipykernel 
      python-ipywidgets 
      python-nbconvert 
      python-nbformat 
      python-notebook (>= 4.2.3-3) 
      dh-python (>= 2.20170125) 
      libgap-sage-dev (>= 4.8.6) 
      libbrial-dev (>= 0.8.5-4) 
      libbrial-groebner-dev (>= 0.8.5-4) 
      libflint-arb-dev (>= 2.8.1-2) 
      libflint-dev (>= 2.5.2-5+b2) 
      libfplll-dev (>= 5.0.3) 
      libgsl-dev 
      liblinboxsage-dev (>= 1.4) 
      liblrcalc-dev (>= 1.2-2) 
      libntl-dev (>= 9.9.1-2) 
      libopenblas-dev (>= 0.2.19) 
      libplanarity-dev 
      librw-dev 

This is actually a partial list since these packages might need further
dependencies not yet available in Jessie.  Do you think it is necessary
to pick single Maintainers / Uploaders?  Most of the packages are
maintained by teams which I'm a member of and when I did this kind of
team backports (well not that large scale ones) this never caused any
trouble.

Kind regards

      Andreas.
