I do think this is useful, because it prevents confusion with xref. When
I am working on my own packages/packages I am contributing to, I want
M-. to jump to the actual definition I can work on, not a copy that
might get lost.

The issue is that this is just a repository, that might be helpful in
some situations, but at the very least adds a redundant step (fetch the
code, install the code) and always makes it harder to work on local
repositories, because package-sources are unversioned.
