They will have the same issues as elpa-admin has, right?  In that case,
the issue will be if someone just wants to install prescient, they will
have all the other dependencies unconditionally "installed" along with
the rest.  At the same time, if someone installs one of the more
specialised packages, which adds the same repository as a dependency,
you'll have the same package checked out twice, and I would have to
guess which takes priority in `load-path'...

Agreed.
