The package looks good. Good to see a library that properly uses libtool
in Sage. :)

Using standard tools in a standard way is definitely helpful.

Here are my comments:

- I'm not satisfied with the reason for the lintian override of
hardening-no-fortify-functions that hardening makes no sense. Since
-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 is passed, this may be a false positive from
lintian, so that may be a better comment.

Ok, done.

- Pass --disable-silent-rules to configure to get a more meaningful
build log.

I'm not sure about that one, and I'm not the only one wondering about it:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=680686
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=551463
(look like duplicates...)

- Install README

Done.

- Install NEWS as upstream changelog, instead of ChangeLog

Done.

- Tip for debian/copyright: you don't need to repeat the GPL2+ in every
file paragraph, one License:GPL2+ paragraph at the end would also do the
trick.

Lintian doesn't think it does.
