removing the 'v' would be a useful addition I think. The default action
should not be to produce tons of unnecessary output.
I can provide a patch for that. :) (Though there are currently a couple?
of other tickets modifying {{{sage-spkg}}}.)
We can still fall back to the old behavoir if yet another undocumented
environment variable (e.g. {{{SAGE_SPKG_VERBOSE}}} or
{{{SAGE_SPKG_LIST_FILES}}}) is set, to not annoy people who heat their
home with harddisks, or need more network traffic etc.
The advantage of verbose extraction is that you by chance see a lot of
useless files that could or should be removed from an spkg. Take e.g. a
look at the files in SageNB's Mercurial repository, currently also listed
in {{{spkg/logs/sagenb-*}}} (it's about 22500 lines)... ;-)
