Comment:
As I suspected, it's a typing problem. Normalization performs a division,
and `1/2` simplifies to `0` if `1` is an `int`. If `1` is an `Integer` or
a `Rational`, then `1/2` simplifies to a `Rational`.
This strikes me as a matter best left to the client: the normalization
shouldn't choose the type of the coefficients of the constraints; it's not
even clear we can guess this ''a priori''. So this isn't a bug after all.
But, I'd like someone else's opinion.
