AFAIK most ELPA packages don't care very much about being installable with package.el in Emacs<24, but I don't see any reason why we can't make a package.el that works in Emacs<24 and is "up-to-date" in the sense that it supports the `emacs` package and the new version-less dependencies.

Something is weird here, because "emacs" as a package was in package.el at the very beginning.
