As a rule of thumb, everytime you install a package in Debian you should
look at the fields "Recommends" ans "Suggests" (dpkg -s package). In the
case o Maxima:
Recommends: maxima-share, gv
Suggests: texmacs, maxima-doc, wish
and even then there are some other maxima-related packages that you
might want to install:
xmaxima, maxima-src, maxima-test

P.S. Debian "sid" is not the stable version. It is the unstable one.
