Special Update/Build Instructions

Upstream does not provide a source tarball, so the tarball was taken
from github and renamed.

The source tarball does not contain setup.py, so we put the setup
commands in spkg-install.

However, these system packages will not be used for building Sage
because using Python site-packages is not supported by the Sage distribution;
