For Emacs packages, "Version" keyword in main file, here "ggtags.el", is more important than tags because each time that keyword is updated, a new release happens on ELPA. In a nutshell, "0.9.0" refers to the commit that updated the keyword. > My second concern is, how do we distribute some more up to date (think > emacs-magit), if we use a .tar from elpa ?

As pointed out, upstream tags do not matter for ELPA release cycles. If you need to package a more up-to-date package (with good reasons, I hope), you just point source to upstream instead of ELPA.
