Yes, since we want to keep using the .spkg extension, it makes sense to use SPKG_LOCAL, and it will simply mean: SPKG = "Software Package". That way the packaging system will be project neutral. We decided to go ahead and use SPKG_LOCAL from now on. I'll send a patch to the Sage build system soon, in case you wanted to go this way too.
