As the maintainer of python-processing (and the one that requested its removal) I say no: processing is dead upstream and lead to multiprocessing, now included in 2.6. there is a backport to python 2.4 and 2.5, python-multiprocessing (that I also maintain) and if you need what "processing" provides you have to use multiprocessing. I already talked with Tim, and the new upstream release has been ported to multiprocessing, so every effort has to be put into packaging it (or backporting fixes to the current version in Debian). Tim was quite busy last time we talked, see #535357 (and all other bugs) and try to give him help if you want sagemath in a better shape.
