Something like this:

  orig_echo = echo_executing_commands ();
  orig_more = page_screen_output ();

  unwind_protect

    disp ("inside my script");

  unwind_protect_cleanup

    echo_executing_commands (orig_echo);
    page_screen_output (orig_more);
    clear ("orig_echo", "orig_more");

  end_unwind_protect


or wrap the whole body of build_packages in a function, and use the
"local" options of echo_executing_commands and page_screen_output.
