Comment(by leif):

 Well, the code is a bit weird anyway; there should be an `exit 1` if the
 package (`$PKG_SRC`) does not exist:
 {{{
 #!sh
 if [ "$INFO" -ne 0 ]; then
     if [ ! -f "$PKG_SRC" ]; then
         echo "Package $PKG_NAME not found"
         # EXIT HERE
     fi
     ...
 }}}

 I don't think we really need the `echo ""`, since `SPKG.txt` files should
 be newline-terminated. (The `tar` commands extract this file to `stdout`.)

 ----

 As far as I know, there are indeed (at least some old, optional) packages
 that do have a ''short'' `SAGE.txt` (rather than `SPKG.txt`), so I'm not
 sure if we shouldn't check for both.

 Also, typical `SPKG.txt` files are quite long, so we might omit some parts
 or e.g. "cut" them where the Changelog section starts.
