Then, M-x package-install may (1) Remove REQUIRE-MATCH from its
interactive `completing-read' call. (2) If the package is built-in and
:core on ELPA, ask to run package upgrade (y/n) - something like
"Package foo is already installed. New version is available on ELPA. Upgrade? (y/n)"
(3) Fall back to user-error that package is not found otherwise.
