 Replying to [comment:16 fbissey]:
 > Hum I am unwilling to touch the `spkg-src` while I don't completely
 understand it. I would regenerate `Makefile.in` and co and probably wreak
 havoc in the current setup. Better ship it as it is now. If we really want
 lapack support we'll work it out later.

 Indeed It looks obsolete. may by since #17044. Moreover I think that it is
 the only dependency of SAGE_RUNTIMES cf #19672 comment 6 and jeroen
 answer. I am trying to remove both.
