A spkg *is* a tarball: you can extract it using tar jxf eclib-20071231.spkg which will unpack it into eclib-20071231/ and all you need is in there/src.
As for explanations, my pre-Sage distribution had all that but I'll have to look it up and update it. As for packaging this for Linux distributions: this is not something I want to get into at all, but somewhere there needs to be a list of dependencies, which at the very least contains NTL (and preferably pari as otherwise there's no integer factorization beyond trial division). This particular package was only ever intended for use within Sage -- that's enough work already!
