  Description     : library of C programs for computer algebra

SACLIB is a library of C programs for computer algebra derived from the
SAC2 system.  It includes algorithms for list processing, arithmetic of
integers, rational numbers, and polynomials, modular arithmetic, linear
algebra, and more.

SACLIB is a build dependency for the quantifier elimination software
QEPCAD, which I also intend to package.  (QEPCAD, in turn, is used
by the CoincidentRootLoci package in Macaulay2, which should be
arriving in Debian soon -- see #439888.)

I plan to maintain the package under the umbrella of the Debian Science
Team.
