All installed packages are red and unsigned, and have *nothing* in their
archive column -- it's not just ELPA, it's also Melpa and Marmalade.
Hitting "?" on the package shows something like this:

multiple-cursors is an unsigned package.

Status: Installed in `~/.emacs.d/elpa/multiple-cursors-20140418.815/' (unsigned).
Archive: n/a
Version: 20140527.359
Summary: Multiple cursors for Emacs.
Other versions: 20140527.359 (melpa), 1.3.0 (marmalade).

All the packages are like this: Archive says n/a, but it's pretty
obvious that I'm using one of the "Other versions".

All the uninstalled ("available") packages have values in the Archive
column, and under the same header in the info page.

I wonder if I should just make a list of installed packages, hose the
whole thing, and start over...
