This should not a big deal, despite the fact, that one dependency
(libm4ri) needs backporting, too.

I agree, this should not be the task now.

"polybori" or "polybori-gui" in PolyBoRi 0.5. There was libpolybori-dev,
which is mentioned correctly in mathematics-dev.
Anyway this is inconsistent somehow.
