I don't blame you at all, though this is a shame, since the idea of sage was 
so promising.

Perhaps distros and others like us should be making upstream aware of how 
difficult maintaining it can be, given the way they organise it all, and how 
this is leading us to drop it from our repos. Apologies if you've already 
tried this.
