New description:
The `sage-spkg` script runs `tar` with the `v` option to extract spkgs.
This significantly increases the size of many installation logs. Not
adding the option would make the logs easier to navigate and search for
errors and warnings, too.
I think Leif Leonhardy proposed this, somewhere.

> I think Leif said the verbose output could be useful to find packages
which have unnecessary files in them.
That was meant a joke. (I don't expect people to read the full, nearly
300,000-lines {{{install.log}}}, but incidentally noticed the mentioned
obsolete SageNB files when watching the build process.)
> But personally I think that issue should be resolved when packages are
reviewed.
Of course. Unfortunately it's unlikely people look into the Mercurial
repository for '''deleted''' files. (Ok, you can see them when verbosely
unpacking an spkg manually, or do {{{du -sh}}} on the spkg's directory,
which a reviewer should perhaps also do.)
> I've not objections to adding an environment variable to control it, but
it's more work than a one-character patch!
Obviously, but shouldn't carry much more of a danger.
