Monolithic Plan
Started December 30, 2009.
Make a .deb that is "monolithic" and installs the complete sage installation into /opt/sage (say). See http://tldp.org/HOWTO/html_single/Debian-Binary-Package-Building-HOWTO/
- Make any changes to the Sage distribution needed to make

-deb <version>" that creates the deb and puts it in SAGE_ROOT/dist/.

Complete Native Debian Packaging of Sage: Status
Started in 2008.
As of February 1st, 2009, Sage is in Debian Sid largely to the hard work by Tim Abbott.
From http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel/browse_thread/thread/ef6407b5c792b20b
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
