An obstacle when testing platforms with -maximal and IGNORE_MISSING_SYSTEM_PACKAGES=yes, for example docker-fedora-26-maximal (https://github.com/mkoeppe/sage/runs/589959336)

docker build gives

max depth exceeded

(docker/for-linux#414)

Basically, a sequence of too many RUN commands. Need to revise write-dockerfile
