Replying to [comment:10 drkirkby]:
One reason to have this patch in anyway is that with the current build
system it is perfectly possible to install the patch spkg after the build
is done (sage-spkg does not check prereqs). And the absence of the current
patch to the patch spkg would create a problem, as the Sage's patch will
break.
This is a general weakness of the Sage build system, that also manifests
elsewhere (e.g. it's possible to nuke any standard package this way, if
there is an optional package of the same name, e.g. GLPK is an example).
But this needs another ticket.
