Do I understand correctly - the only problems are that sagetex doesn't
work in Debian currently, and

Or is there a copy of SageTeX in Debian, in the Sage package?
In any case - we don't have much time and would rather spend that on
bringen TL 2011 into Debian, instead of fixing TL 2009. But if someone
checks that there's nothing to do but blacklist the files (and provide a
list of the files affected), maybe we can upload that fix.
