This is related with ticket #4587
For doc-testing the installation of packages, there should be some `test-
dummy.spkg`
The purpose of the package is to do ''nothing''. William suggested to mark
it `optional -- admin`, I am not sure what that means. [it means that it
would only be tested when we do sage -t -only_optional=admin, where admin
means "tested by the admin who has write privileges to the sage install]
Also, there should be an easy way to get rid of `test-dummy.spkg` after
installation.
Idea:
* `sage -i test-dummy.spkg` should simply result in an entry in the list
of installed packages.
* uninstalling it is done by removing the list entry and deleting the
file `test-dummy.spkg`.
