That used to happen, but one directory up; the readme for ada-mode was
in ~/.emacs.d/elpa, next to ada-mode-<version>.
However, that readme was often out of date.
To access the readme now, use ? in the *Packages* buffer. That uses the
installed package files if it is installed.
The description that ? displays is either from a README file, or from
the Commentary header of the main package file; so the ada-mode readme
is in ~/.emacs.d/elpa/ada-mode-7.1.8/README. Is that not the case
for elquery?
