Various solutions =20 - a toggle - big distinction/subtle distinction - differnet faces - or an extra tag with git/elpa/melpa/wiki - the non-Elpa packages are not on by default and have to be enabled by adding some setting i.e. `list-package-sources-in-preference-order' > This makes sense, but can get unpleasantly complicated.
