Comment (by fbissey):
After my long rant (and mostly getting stuff out of my chest) I no longer
think it is necessary. Let me explain:
* it is not just giving a name to the tarball. You would want a distinct
name for the library and the executable.
* for sanity reason you don't want to carry 2 versions of pari, one for
the package and one for the library. So you get to change all the packages
that link to pari at least.
* Last but not least. There are not that many packages using pari that
are not in sage and a lot of them depend on ancient pari (2.3). So unless
someone pulls a list of software using pari from under their beds i think
the point on maintaining the stack is moot.
I did some homework on the last point in Gentoo I am not sure what it
would hold for debian but I am willing to bet it will be about the same.
