Fair enough, but let's make that spkg dev guide update ticket a blocker.

releases?
> All releases, beta and stable. So in practice, you only really need to
run `./configure` manually if you yourself are working on a package (as
author or reviewer). If the package upgrade happens as part of a Sage
version bump, no special action is needed.
Thanks for the explanation.

I feel that some of those configuration steps could take some time, just
to have it fail for an unrelated reason. However I don't really care about
this; it was more out of curiosity.
