Hi,
flint stands for Fast Library for Integer Number Theory, is already used
quite heavily in sagemath, and will likely be used by a few other
mathematical programs in the near future.
Tim Abbott packaged it years ago ; Felix Salfelder prepared it anew and
I made a few small changes to try to finish it.
The current debian-science repository is in a state where I think it can
go in. At least lintian isn't unhappy with it, and it allowed me to
prepare my flintqs packaging.
