When one (re)installs an spkg, the script SAGE_LOCAL/bin/sage-spkg is
called to perform the installation. This script is also where the
variable SAGE_CHECK is checked to determine if it's set in
spkg-install. As far as I can tell, this variable is not documented in
the Developer's Guide.

Yes. Ticket #8262 tracks the issue of documenting what the variable
SAGE_CHECK does.
