The below text has been added in Emacs 30 to
(info "(elisp) Multi-file Packages")
If your package contains files that you don't wish to distribute
to users (e.g. regression tests), you can add them to an
‘.elpaignore’ file. In this file, each line lists a file or a
wildcard matching files; those files should be ignored when
producing your package's tarball on ELPA (*note Package Archives::).
(ELPA will pass this file to the ‘tar’ command via the ‘-X’
command-line option, when it prepares the package for download.)
