Comment (by jhpalmieri):
I suppose to make this work well, when a package is installed, we should
record its type in its record in `local/var/lib/sage/installed`. I'm not
sure I want to bother with that. As it is, if someone installs an old-
style package, we don't know what type it is without checking the servers
(and the servers are not 100% accurate: e.g., `zeromq` is listed as both
standard and optional on the servers).
Currently, `sage --optional` (etc.) ignores the files in
`var/lib/sage/installed` when compiling a list of packages to print: it
only checks `build/pkgs` and the servers. (It does check those files to
see what version of a package was installed.) I'm not sure of a better way
to proceed, especially if `local` is True.
