 *Why* are you sure that this is what PARI already does?

 The relevant paper is:
 http://www.math.fsu.edu/~hoeij/papers/factor_Oct12_2004.dvi

 Note that this paper contains statements like: "Then one has a polynomial
 time
 algorithm that runs very well in practice, with running times that should
 be
 the same as those reported in [Bel03] for QQ[X]."   Such a statement would
 perhaps be silly if one just reduces to the QQ case by taking norms.

 I'm not 100% sure of anything though since I haven't read the relevant
 pari
 source code yet.
