Bug#439888: Macaulay2 on debian

["Daniel R. Grayson" <dan@math.uiuc.edu>]

Dear Debian people,

I'm one of the two authors of Macaulay2 and I'd like to get it into the
repositories for debian and ubuntu.

I think I've done everything required for our version 1.1 months ago.  The
needed files are visible in our repository at

       http://www.math.uiuc.edu/Macaulay2/Repositories/

I know it works, because we tell our users to add our repository to the apt-get
list, and I use ubuntu all the time.

We are now working on releasing version 1.2, and I'd like to get in the
official repositories, too.

Is there anything I can do to help to make this happen?  The process seems to
have stalled.
