Thanks, I'll then delete the attached one. (You can still attach a diff
for reference / review.)

> Off topic: this goes to show how badly the packaging system needs an
overhaul. There shouldn't be any need to upload a binary file for this,
since it's just a text patch to the package metadata. Fortunately, people
are working on that... :-)
Yes. At the very least, we should split off the (hopefully) vanilla
`src/` tree from Sage's part.
(Even worse, Jeroen's merger script currently keeps modifying some
"unchanged", already released spkgs from beta to beta. The differences
are subtle changes in the metadata due to needless repackaging, but of
course mtimes and md5sums differ afterwards. But you have to download and
unpack them to check/see this...)
