Bug Description
The texlive-latex-extra package in Lucid includes the SageTeX package. I'd like to request that this be removed from the TeXLive packaging in Ubuntu/Debian. This package requires both TL and Sage (http://
Sage is updated far more frequently than TeXLive, and most users who use Sage install it from source or from a binary from sagemath.org. As SageTeX is now included by default in Sage, it seems reasonable to not include the SageTeX package in Ubuntu's TeXLive packaging.
Thanks.

Hello?
Two years and not even a comment?
I'm just asking for a couple directories be removed from texlive- latex-extra- doc and texlive- latex-extra.
In the meantime, we get reports every few weeks on the Sage mailing lists of people who are having trouble because of this problem. I don't understand why this cannot be done.
