In the spkg for foo just put sage -i dep another_dep and fix it so "sage -i dep" works and doesn't require one to write "sage -i dep-0.4.5". Also, make sure that some environment variable or something is set, so that circular dependencies are caught, since otherwise we end up in an infinite loop. Then all dependency info is moved to spkg-install.
