If I'm not mistaken, it is only documented in the elpa.git README: ** =3D:core FILES=3D This property has to come first. Indicates that this is a special package which will be built by extract= ing files directly from Emacs's source code. For this to work, the Emacs source code should be available in the =3Demacs=3D subdirectory. FILES specifies the files that will be contained in the generated tarba= lls. It can be a single file name or a list of file names. FWIW, I suggested adding something about this to CONTRIBUTE, but the idea was rejected.
