I think that we should white-list at least some of these, and also try

Simon's p_group_cohomology package, which didn't build correctly for me.
I don't have objections to leaving things as they are (i.e., completely
opaque, maybe also stop them from being listed in "sage --optional") for
the broken old-style spkgs (many of the others, although I didn't test
all of the ones that were last modified more than 5 years ago).

OK, I am adding this as a variation on (D):

(D''): sage -i OLDSTYLEPKGNAME should give an error, except if OLDSTYLEPKGNAME is in a pre-determined white-list of packages.

But the hard question remains: which packages should be white-listed?
