IMHO: * The package type (standard/optional/experimental) should be in a file inside the package directory * The build system should check that it builds only standard packages * Old-style spkgs shouldn't be mashed together with new-style packages, that is super confusing if you have both. * Instead, put all old spkgs in a separate category (sage -old-spkg or so), or list them separately at the end of "sage -optional"
