As of February 1st, 2009, Sage is in Debian Sid largely to the hard work by Tim Abbott.

As of today, Sage 3.0.5 is available in Debian sid, so you can now run 
"apt-get install sagemath" and get Sage installed on your Debian system.

Now the plan is to upgrade the Sage in Debian to Sage 3.3 once that release is finished in the the first week of February.

To check the status of Sage and its dependencies in Debian, you can look at Tim Abbott's Debian QA page
