What does "ignore" mean in this context?  On ELPA we have the following
attribute for package specifications:

  ** =:ignored-files FILES=
  Names of files or directories that should not be included in the tarballs.

package.el already supports ignoring the contents of a .elpaignore file,
but all that does is remove a few files from the byte-compilation process.
