Comment (by ncohen):

 > I intend to discuss your proposal seriously : it entails creating a
 spkg-src file for **all** packages, thus making it mandatory. And making
 mandatory the use of a functional Internet connection for any
 installation/update. No more updates for an isolated/firewalled machine...

 Nonono, it is much more innocent than that. I just want to have some
 script that reviewers can run whenever they review a package, to make sure
 everything is fine. I don't plan to make it automatic at all. Just a
 helper code for reviewers.

 > And since we pay this price, it should be logical to limit Sage tarballs
 to a very bare minimum of sage-specific files and patches.

 It would help with that, for sure. There have been recent complaints about
 how we sometimes change upstream's package, and how it is not always said
 explicitly.

 > I'm not sure that's where we should go... But this is the subject of
 your proposal-to-be, that will be discussed on its ticket.

 On #18826, right.
