 I think that really what remains to be done is to remove dependencies on
 obsolete fortrans (f77), see my other comment on this.
 Let's get it done!

 I don't see a necessity to try non-debian/ubunty version.
 If you look at the debian patches, you see that all they changed is the
 source
 were slight tweaks in setup.py

 disable the preparser in Sage via {{{preparser(False)}}} ... otherwise
 there are unknown types when you try to create a matrix with cvxopt's
 matrix command.

 Does this mean that we should think of importing cvxopt's matrix into Sage
 under some other name? I don't know what the usual Sage's way to deal with
 such things, i.e. name clashes between packages, is.
