Comment (by vbraun):

 sage-src scripts are just symptoms of failures of our package system.
 Instead of formalizing those hacks we should try to understand what is
 missing. IMHO:
 * we should store the upstream URL (with a VERSION placeholder) somewhere,
 maybe in checksums.ini
 * most sage-src scripts probably exist because we want to delete stuff
 from the tarball to bring it to a manageable size. The globs of files to
 delete should be stored in a file, no need to have executable scripts
 floating about
