Hi Christopher,

A warning is good but I would prefer to to put the libraries linking
to libsingular in quarantine for revdep-rebuild until that happens.
Otherwise revdep-rebuild will always want to rebuild sage-core again
and again. Furthermore:
1) we cannot count on users reading the warning.
2) during any genuine call to revdep-rebuild to catch other stuff
sage-core will be added and considering the time it takes it is
not nice.

Francois
