Comment 8 for bug 1602941

For the upcoming "zesty" release it the canonical way would be:
 - become the maintainer for maxima on *debian*
 - then request the package to be synchronized with ubuntu.

For the current release I guess we first need someone to contact (or to become) the maintainer. How the process continues from then I unfortunately do not know.

---

A thing the maintainer perhaps could do would be to create a launchpad mirror of the sourceforge repo maxima's code is kept in - and then to initiate a nightly build ppa for maxima.
