Requires binNMU-rebuilt cvxopt, giac (against libgsl23), plus new source 
uploads of fplll, fpylll, givaro, and a cypari2 that is going through NEW.

As soon as cypari2 passes NEW I think it is OK to upload all of those other 
packages to unstable, then we can fix the failing tests later.

As a temporary workaround:

$ aptitude search '~Dlibgsl2$ ~R^sagemath$ ~rnative' --disable-columns
p  python-cvxopt - Python package for convex optimization   
   
p  xcas - Computer Algebra System - console and graphical calculator

Since this list is quite small, I've done my own binNMUs of these packages 
(using sbuild --binNMU etc) and uploaded them to deb-sci-sage. This makes 
`debian/rules release-deb-sci-sage` work again, I'll run it properly in the 
morning and report the results.

Hi, I'm at DebConf over the next week and will very likely be able to find some 
time to deal with this.
