+version epoch bump 0 -> 1: rationale
+====================================
+During the last stage of the packaging of sage for Stretch, it appeared that
+the micro changes involved in singular version 4.0.3-p4 (p3 -> p4) were in fact
+major changes for sage whose singular is a major dependency. As Stretch release
+was approaching, the consensus among the Debian Sage Team [1] was to fix first
+the manageable number of remaining issues before to jump to singular version
+4.0.3-p4. Very unfortunately, singular version 4.0.3-p4 was already in
+testing/Stretch when the Debian Sage Team realised this issue. Consequently,
+it was decided to bump the version epoch (see deb-version(1)) in order to have
+singular version 4.0.3-p3 in Stretch and to keep the Debian package versioning
+flow consistent (see deb-version(1) and dpkg(1, --compare)).
+In short, the version epoch bump 0 -> 1 marks the override of the package sage
+over the package singular. Along this line, more recent but still incompatible
+releases of singular are planned to be maintained in experimental, understood
+that the Debian Sage Team will do its best to keep the gap between unstable/Sid
+and experimental minimal if not vanishing.
