Comment (by Snark):

 Oh, dear, that was the thing I missed to understand!

 Ok, so when "make ptestlong" runs "sage --something", it really checks :
  1. things are at the right place ;
  2. things work ;
  3. things work correctly.

 I was only considering points 2 and 3 since the beginning! My patch does
 indeed break point 1.

 Now, I still think there are things to fix :
  1. checking that something was installed at the right place should be
 done by something.spkg, not in somewhere unrelated -- that will cover 1
 where it should be covered ;
  2. and then my patch should be applied, because now the implicit
 constraint will be satisfied in an explicit way by a proper test
 somewhere.
