Hi Rebecca, ... great that you have patches for Theano bugs! If you want to adopt it, welcome! I would say, please try to keep it in. If 9.0 comes out the meanwhile, that could be backported. Conda (is that available as a package?) or pip (!) are no alternatives for just doing "apt-get installl python-theano" on a clean base system, and have it ... and there's a stable user base in Debian (popcon 150).
