This is great achievement.

What are your goals? Would you like to be the maintainer of the Debian
sage package? You do not need to be a Debian developer (I am sure you
already know that), just to find a sponsor and I hope the
debian-science mailing list is the best place for that.
An other option would be to fire up a sage-pkg project on alioth for
collaborative maintenance of sage. I would be happy to join you there
even if my python skills are still rudimentary (and neither am I a
Debian developer).
Best regards,
