Comment (by ncohen):
Hello !
> For ease of maintenance (and for cleanliness of code, which isn't quite
as important), it would be best to not duplicate the work, so it would be
best to have `standard_packages` rely on `sage --standard`, or vice versa.

> My strong preference is for `sage --standard` to ''not'' rely on
`standard_packages`, since `sage --standard` should work without having
built Sage.
That's what I tried first, i.e. fix `sage --standard`. But then you have
some problems, like undefined environment variables, and you must re-parse
everything in `standard_packages` again.
I thought a bit about making this script dependent on sage, and I actually
ended up wondering whether .... we need those `sage -standard` scripts.
Right now they are totally broken, and... Well, if we do not need them
then perhaps we should stop maintaining them.
> (In my brief tests, by the way, this does fix the Sage functions as
intended. But I haven't looked at the actual changes to see if they make
sense.)
I hope that they do `;-)`
