It's not the ideal situation of course (it'd be better if all packages
were in GNU ELPA), but we also don't have any rule that GNU ELPA
packages can't depend on packages in NonGNU ELPA.

(That said, it would of course be good to extend doc-view to support
this use case at some point.)

Sounds useful, thanks.

We don't really have any strict criteria.  It's suitable if it's useful,
unless there are some overriding technical or ethical concerns (e.g. if
the package recommends non-free software) that we're aware of.
