Bug#383515: singular is difficult

["Bernhard R. Link" <brlink@debian.org>]

I've just taken a look at it and singular's build system is in quite
a bad shape and I guess it will need many people to bring it into
an reasonable form. Perhaps the best would to package the parts included
in upstreams tarball from other sources. Like a ntl package and a
(once the license fix got applied upstream) omalloc package code and so on.
Once those are all packaged, the remaining parts should be relative
unproblematic.

If anyone wants to try any part of that and want a second pair of eyes
to look at it or an sponsor, let me know.

Hochachtungsvoll,
