Would it make sense to have two packages:
- sage (the current package) with what's strictly needed to run sage
as dependency:
- libgfortran3
- gfortran?
- firefox or x-www-browser
- sage-recommended, a dummy package with dependencies:
- gcc, build-essential
- texlive, texlive-latex-recommended, texlive-pictures (for tikz!)
- imagemagick, ffmpeg, dvipng
- openssh-client
- an appropriate version of java for jmol
Cheers,
Nicolas
