Comment (by vbraun):
Whats the point of whitelisting only specific packages? Including
''trac'', which has no mathematical relevance nor any utility to non-
developers (and for those only barely). Having special entries in the Sage
package list only makes sense if there is a need for it, e.g. because they
are dependencies of non-pip (optional) packages.
IMHO if the user runs `sage -f packagename` and `packagename` is not a
Sage package then either
* always try to `pip install packagename`, or
* finish with `pip search packagename` and, if it finds something, tell
the user that it can be installed via `sage --pip`
We can merge the current to appease the cargo cultists and finally get rid
of some of the broken packages, but its not entirely satisfactory.
