I have tried on several occasions to update dmaths in Debian [0] [1][2][3].
I have not managed to sponsor for the update package :-(((

The package contains some aspects little appropriate for Debian. For
example many image files that have to be installed in a directory that is
inappropriate for Debian (usr/lib/libreoffice/share/extensions). This
generates complaints of lintian.
There are other negative aspects [4] .

The dmaths can be installed directly as a complement with ease. It may not
be more appropriate to keep it as a package.

I can do a new attempt to update the package in Debian but I don't have
high hopes for success.

Thank you for your interest!

I. De Marchi
