Maxima in sage is built against ecl
Package: maxima
Version: 5.29.1-1
The maxima used in sage is built with ecl, while the sage in debian
isn't. That will of course be a problem to package sage ; a very simple
fix would be to just compile maxima with ecl in debian.
But of course, simple doesn't mean correct : I saw #661803 where someone
asks for an sbcl-built maxima, so the situation is going to be a pain if
each and everyone wants maxima built against some variant of common lisp...
I don't know how to handle the situation gracefully, so I open this bug
CCing debian-science to discuss the matter.
Thanks,
