Indeed. But it's only accidentally a sexp, in the sense that it's not
actually a sexp in the buffer -- it's a comment.
What is the failure behaviour of package.el for this at the moment? I

old error message!).
It's worth considering. In this case, you really do want the format
change to break everything that doesn't accept it!
