Hi Julien, thanks for your work on palp as sagemath precondition. As you might have read on debian-devel-announce[1] (subscribing this list is mandatory and I personally would expect reading Debian Science members to read Blends related postings) I announced a personal "Sponsoring of Blends packages" effort. It is a bit sad that nobody has given a hint to palp when I was calling for help for the metapackage creation[2].
Well, there is already a palp in debian, outdated ; maintained (but mostly abandoned) by Tim Abbott. I was supposed to wait for wheezy's release before taking over and pushing (well RFS-ing) the latest upstream.
I just added it *now* to mathematics where I think it belongs to - other suggestions are welcome. So the third precondition for my "Sponsoring of Blends" conditions[1] is fullfilled and I'd be fine to prove that I'm honest with this effort on the palp example. So if you are interested in this please make sure you move palp to Debian Science VCS (either Git or SVN) which is currently not (at least I do not have any sign for this (second precondition) and make sure you can confirm precondition 1.
It is available in debian science's git.debian.org corner, as I mentioned in my RFS.

Ah, yes, I saw those pass... but didn't feel concerned since they were about wheezy, and I feel the sagemath work is still experimental/unstable more than stable/testing.
After all we don't have all pieces yet, and when we'll have all of them, I'm pretty sure we'll have to modify them to make everything work.
