 The pari package is full of patches, some of which should have been
 proposed upstream, some of which break the ABI.

 According to the discussion with the debian packager of pari (which is
 also upstream):
 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=703116
 the correct solution would be for sage to *add* what is needed to the sage
 library instead of patching upstream.
