It's a bit problematic. Moving the keywords into package--builtins
necessitates a change in the archive-contents file format, which means
incompatibility with the old elpa repository. This scheme also forces
key lookup to iterate over all packages, which seems inelegant.
The scheme I came up with is to put the keywords into a hash table, also
stored in finder-inf.el (further down in the file), which maps keywords
to package lists. True, this is not 100% satisfactory. What the
problem really wants is a database, but we can't rely on that.
