> I did no try to look at `spkg/optional`. I just did `sage -optional`
that shows wrong information (e.g. lie being optional but `sage -i lie`
install a different experimental package).
That's because the "new-style" package is now categorized "experimental".

> I want to be able to install all optional packages using `sage
-optional` and this is badly broken.
Yes, it is. Not long ago, it kept showing ''only'' legacy spkgs, now it
gives an inconsistent mixture instead of what I mentioned above (namely
legacy spkgs iff there's no "new-style" version at all).
> I also consider the current packaging system as very bad. But this
ticket is about cleaning the websites mentioned in the description. And I
think cleaning is a good step forward.
It's not the ''website'' that's broken, it's `sage --optional`, `sage
--experimental` etc. We should fix '''that''', and not just try to hide
the problem by more or less randomly deleting or moving some stuff.
