> It's not superseded. I still want to support `./sage -i` like before
because
> 1. `./sage -i` works with old-style packages

without all the `build/install` stuff.
Note that if #19004 gets merged, then item 1 is no longer completely true:
to install an old-style package, I think you would have to download it
manually and then run `sage -i file.spkg`.
Regarding point 3, I feel like the default behavior for `sage -i` should
be to install the prerequisites, and there should be a flag (`--no-deps`?)
to force an installation ignoring its dependencies. What is the downside
to this?
