It seems wasteful to have a file just for this define-package.  Why
not get the info out of the .el files just as for a one-file package?

It could look at all the .el files and verify that they all agree.  If
they don't, it could print an error message.  If it finds different
package names in various files, it could treat them as separate packages.

I think this would in most cases simplify the packaging.
