If using VCS The Right Way means not having auto-generated files inside
the upstreadm repositories, then they shouldn't be inside the elpa
branch, either.
The packages' files get modified/added during the build process anyway,
both in ELPA and MELPA.
IOW, we're probably in agreement, but I think ELPA is farther from The
Right Way that Melpa, since the former requires -pkg.el files to be
present, and they are usually auto-generated.
