Hi The more important drop is the whole src folder, which I think is needed for rebuilds. We did it to save space and bandwidth, and most importantly you should not be compiling as root which is necessary to install optional packages, which we intentially dropped now.. Perhaps a poll on this is necessary.
In principle the PPA supports easy install and upgrades, and I am not sure how to safely install, except perhaps to have all files owned by a new sagemath user we'd have to create and incorporate, and also the deb is built from prebuilt binaries, see a recent thread about sagemath binaries unsuitable for development. https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/sage-devel/binaries$20development/sage-devel/QdwdT8J8q50/TyLCIeAF37cJ At the moment we don't want to immediately revert. We could have a package sagemath-source which installs the latest source, but you are probably better of with a source tree of your own. How big is the need for optional packages via the PPA? We have a need for gap_packages at our institution, and a few others.
