Comment (by vbraun):

 I don't have any strong opinion on where to put the lapack tarball, except
 that our convention of only allowing a single `src/` directory is
 shortsighted.

 Note that I'm not using assertions for control flow, i.e. I'm not using
 {{{
   try:
     <command>
   except AssertionError:
     <alternative>
 }}}
 Note that you could theoretically also catch the `SystemExit` exception,
 so `sys.exit()` isn't different from `assert` in that regard. I'm only
 using assertions to ensure the following contract holds: `spkg-install`
 completes successfully only if the relevant atlas configure/make completed
 with `rc==0`

 I'll replace the asserts by something that returns rc as exit code,
 though.
