New description:

 Since (almost) every package depends on `patch` and `bzip2`, an update of
 either of these packages causes a rebuild of everything when upgrading.

 An update of `prereq` even causes everything to be built twice(!) when
 upgrading (the new prereq script is only seen after the new root repo is
 installed, so the second `sage-upgrade` run for double-checking will
 install the new `prereq` and therefore rebuild everything).

 We should simply remove dependencies of packages on `PREREQ`, `BZIP2` and
 `PATCH` and build those packages separately.
