Comment (by fbissey):
Two things:
* the fact that `sys.prefix` is `SAGE_LOCAL` is incidental, it doesn't
have to be.
* Once `jupyter_core` is in place it doesn't matter what I set
`SAGE_LOCAL` to, it doesn't change the value of `sys.prefix`
`jupyter_core` or rather `python` is reporting.
The install procedure for sage is now trying to create
`/usr/share/jupyter/kernels/sagemath` and any missing directory. rpm, deb
and ebuild do not allow you to do that directly. You install
`$SOMESANDBOX/usr/share/jupyter/kernels/sagemath` and later you merge into
the live system. That's what `DESTDIR` is for in autotools, you set
`DESTDIR=$SOMESANDBOX` and things magically install in the sandbox.
Now my main concern was the potential for user to do something to
`{/usr,$SAGE_LOCAL}/share/jupyter/kernels/sagemath` which would be
problematic for multi-user install. It is unfounded. The rest is an
upstream problem and we can stop debating packaging tech in this ticket.
