Comment (by kini):

 The problem is that currently the sage library SPKG tries to run the main
 sage executable while installing the sage library, which is fundamentally
 at odds with the goal of making the main sage executable refuse to run
 until sage is fully installed. One could patch the spkg-install script to
 run scripts in `$SAGE_LOCAL/bin` directly instead of trying to go through
 the sage command line interface.
