From a functional perspective, there is *no need* to modify any of the
el files. One has to just take care that PKG_TAG is a
'version-to-list'-compatible string. The tarball thus generated will be
very much usable.
From a maintenance perspective you might want to move away from 7.01h
convention and adopt a convention that is dictated by elpa.
