Actually I suppose first the issue of how to integrate such packages into releases should be addressed. Another thing you could do is something like admin/org-synch.sh in the elpa branch does, to install a "daily" snapshot into elpa. Maybe you don't need that frequent. Or keep it in trunk and elpa, and merge relevant changes into the elpa branch.
