All things being equal, the answer to all three would be "no". Also, all
three options for the `sage` command should be considered "advanced"
options and not widely advertised.
Since `sage -i` has been the only way to install packages until recently,
though, I'm not sure all things are equal. Maybe you're right, though, and
we should encourage using `make pkg`, and after a while, `sage -i pkg`
will be used less and less, and it can be thought of the same way as `sage
-b` and `sage --docbuild`.
