You may be interested in EPL [1], which provides a convenient API around
package.el and is compatible with all package.el versions from Emacs 23 up
to Emacs 24.4. It is the result of porting Cask to the new package.el
interface in Emacs 24.4.
It is part of Cask since about half a year now, basically since the
package.el changes hit Emacs trunk, and is mostly covered by ERT tests, so
it is fairly stable.
The documentation is currently only in the docstrings and the commentary.
If there is interest, though, I can compile a proper manual, and include it
in the EPL package, for reading in Emacs Info reader.
