We should certainly fix-sage-fix-pkg-checksums.
There's btw. another inconsistency (IMHO), e.g.:
./sage -i Pillow
vs.
./sage -i pillow
Which of the above will succeed? Guess and try yourself... ;-)
(Note that there are (optional) "legacy spkgs" which aren't all
lowercase, so having all lowercase for "new-style" [s]pkg names although
the upstream tarball may be different while for the former slightly
different rules apply is a bit confusing. Try for example 'sage -i
{TOPCOM,topcom,TopCom}'...)
