Package: singular
Version: 1:4.3.1-p3+ds-1
Severity: serious
Justification: rc-policy - "Packages must be buildable within the same release"

singular build-depends on python3-brial. python3-brial recently added a
dependency on python3-sage making it uninstallable on many architectures.
As a result singular can no longer be built on those architectures.

I had a look at the build log and grepped the source tree and could find
no evidence of singular actually using brial. I also was able to
successfully build the package locally without python3-brial installed.

So I think the appropriate course of action would be to remove the
build-dependency. If I get no response I will likely NMU this next
weekend, but I'd really like a second opinion if possible.
