It lets you install `dash` via Git and then install packages that depend
on `dash` via `M-x package-install`.

I think most of it is there already: package.el is divided between
a part that activates packages that are installed and a part which
installs packages from ELPA archives.
The part that activate the locally installed packages is quite
independent and doesn't care about the format of ELPA archives.
All it cares about is the contents of <FOO>-pkg.el and
<FOO>-autoloads.el, both of which are created by the installer.
